Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Jonathan Davis's nuanced performance elevates 'Blindness' to an emotional experience that transcends mere narration. His ability to convey the desperation and fear inherent in Saramago’s narrative is nothing short of remarkable. The story unfolds with deliberate pacing, allowing each character and their fate to resonate deeply. However, some may find the slower pace occasionally tedious, as Davis sometimes struggles to inject humor where it might have been effective. Overall, this audiobook is a compelling exploration of humanity's darkest and brightest moments.
