Book Reviews of Never Let Me Go
Book Review: Stunning.
Summary: 5 Stars
My goodness, what can I say about this book? It is sad,sometimes funny, comtemplative, but no matter what emotion you have when reading this book, even the positive ones, it is tinged with a deep sense of sadness. Even when you have not fully realized what is going on, you are somehow sad. I do not want to say too much because I do not want to reveal anything important but I have to say that I am left reeling after reading this book. Though I have not read any of Ishiguro's writings before this, I will definitely seek his work out because he is a brilliant writer. There were many times,I felt like I was physically in the book, as if I was experiencing the situations myself. I guess as I think about it, all I can say is that all that you keep asking yourself is why the people involved never seem to contemplate the idea of escaping their situation. The characters seem to be unaware of the idea of freewill, its like they have been programmed to accept their fate and never resist it.
I HIGHLY recommend it but be warned, its depressing.
Summary of Never Let Me Go
From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day comes a devastating new novel of innocence, knowledge, and loss. As children Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school secluded in the English countryside. It was a place of mercurial cliques and mysterious rules where teachers were constantly reminding their charges of how special they were.Now, years later, Kathy is a young woman. Ruth and Tommy have reentered her life. And for the first time she is beginning to look back at their shared past and understand just what it is that makes them special–and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together. Suspenseful, moving, beautifully atmospheric, Never Let Me Go is another classic by the author of The Remains of the Day
