I wanted to like this book but I didn’t, I did manage to read the whole thing and it was a struggle. There is a blindness epidemic and the blind are put in an unused hospital for the insane.

The disjointed, run-on sentence structures didn't bother me for about the first half of the book, but then it started to wear on me.
