“the double” was so bad, it discouraged me from seeing the movie based on his book, “blindness”

this is not the cover for this book. plinky’s ‘find artwork’ thing seems to be broken.

the run-on sentences and overly-elaborate trying-to-sound-smart word choices, that some people seem to think are artistic and deep (i suspect i’d dislike these people) were so exhaustingly annoying that i stopped after 5 pages. i’ve never not finished a book before, or since. i suppose i’d finish ‘the double’ if someone paid me at least $100.
