I normally enjoy reading Saramago's material, but I had a difficult time getting through "All The Names." Maybe I'm a little too dense to understand the underlying meaning to this novel, but, as a previous review mentioned, it took a long time to develop and when it finally reached a point of interest, some 100 pages later, it seemed to just drag even more.On a positive note, the writing was superb.
