Book Reviews of The Double
Book Review: A great read. An amazing read.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm afraid this book will be largely misunderstood by english-speaking audiences. Because of Saramago's large paragraphs, some readers will be put off from a story that is essentially a mistery novel, and a great one at that. Tertuliano, the main character, is a school teacher who leads a boring life when, one day, he is faced with the image of a man who looks exactly like him. He becomes obsessed about finding this character and, within a short amount of time, we are taken on a rollercoaster of emotions and events in a page turner you just can't put down. Trust me: this is one of the fundamental existential thrillers in any language. You will love it.
