![]() ![]() One characteristic I really enjoyed reading about is the dreams that the people who fall asleep have. The chaos that follows in the country when more and more people fall asleep and how the authorities handled it is quite interesting to read, especially what happened with the couple who has the baby and the girl who is asleep and pregnant at the same time.Īt the end of the story, you are left with no explanation of the cause of this “infection” which is ok (although not ideal) as the important thing is not that but the experience of these characters and the teaching that we can extract from “dreaming” and “waking up”. Throughout the book, the author plays continuously with the ideas of “dreaming” and “waking up” as metaphors, which I really enjoyed. I like how the different stories of the characters are interwoven and connected and how the author presents them little by little, making a big puzzle with them. ![]() “The Dreamers” depicts a similar situation as the book from Saramago, “Blindness”, but instead of people getting blind, this one shows people falling asleep and “dreaming”. ![]() However, I really did enjoy this book, especially the beginning. ![]() It is also not one of the best books I have read. “That night, the blind man dreamt that he was blind”.Ī book that starts with a quote from one of my favourite books by José Saramago cannot be bad. This review contains spoilers!!! “THE DREAMERS” ![]()
