This book is just fantastic and disturbing at the same time. The thought of why they didn't escape from the recovery centers, and just accept the way it is disturbed me so greatly that I couldn't sleep for days. Why had Kathy not run away, but instead "be where she was supposed to be?". Overall, th...
What an emotional read. Usually whenever we see clones in movies or books, the story is always set in the future amidst a highly technical science fiction background. Not this book. I loved that it was set in an alternate reality Britain (set around the 1950's if memory serves correctly) and the way...

Sie gehören zu einer Gruppe besonderer Kinder, deren spezieller Platz im Leben erfordert, dass sie von der Außenwelt lange Zeit getrennt leben.

I'm not fully certain how to respond to this book. I really loved it. I can't explain why. I had a chunk of the premise spoiled for me before I read it (not everything, just some of it), which I kind of regret because I would have been curious about exactly when I would have figured out what w...
"It never occurred to me that our lives, until then were so closely interwoven, could unravel and separate over a thing like that. But the fact was, I suppose, there were powerful tides tugging us apart by then, and it only needed something like that to finish the task. If we'd understood that back ...
I... I had to quit 70% in. The gossip and backbiting just had me flinching to read this, and it was getting so my heart was sinking when I would pick it back up. Otherwise good - more literary than I'm accustomed to - and the mystery kept just out of the reader's reach was disturbing when I figured ...
"The fantasy never got beyond that -- I didn't let it -- and though the tears rolled down my face, I wasn't sobbing or out of control. I just waited a bit, then turned back to the car, to drive off to wherever it wad I was supposed to be."
I have to say I got a little disappointed with this book. But maybe I have myself to blame for that, because I was expecting to be more obviously moved. But Ishiguro isn't John Green, he isn't obvious, he is smooth, he just shows how the characters interact with each other and their situation, becau...
Never Let Me Go is one of those books where the less you know, the better. So I'm not planning on talking much about the story itself. Instead, I wanted to share some thoughts I had while reading this book.If you strip this book down to its plot, it would be very short, but if you took it out all ...
