Just couldn't bring myself to finish either, despite the hype/awards these novels received...
Saramago is a hard one to get to like. It's mandatory in high school and I hated it back then. After a few years in college I started liking him a lot. Try The Duplicated Man (O Homem Duplicado), if it's available in english. This one drew me into his world and changed the view I had about his novels!
