A haunting book at best. I have to admit that this is my second reading of this book and I was much more wrapped up in the story this time than the first time I read it. I'm not sure why. Either I had my mind on other things which made it hard to get into the story, or the story was so subconsc...
Another one I'm conflicted about.This is the story of three young people growing up in a very comfortable "boarding school" in England. Only later do we find out that they're actually clones being raised to supply spare parts. Pluses: The writing, for the most part. I thought the characters were bel...
I CANNOT understand why this book is so famous and well-reviewed. I don't get it. I don't get why Michiko Kakutani called it "the best book of the decade". UM, NO. NO WAY. The concept is interesting (if freaky)---it's the future; in a dystopian Britain, and people are cloned in order to have ready...
I'm not going to lie, this book confused the hell out of me. And I'm not sure what to think about it. I expected it to be a typical Utopian novel, following a group of people through their growing up. Typically with Utopian/Dystopian fiction, you get a very clear sense of the society you're in, how ...

Very thoroughly enjoyed this book. This is one of those rare cases where seeing the movie actually helps to bring the book to life even more. I almost wish I could go back and read the book first (without seeing the movie) just to see what my imagination would do with these characters and the scener...
OMG this book was so amazingly good. i loved every minute of it.The story followed three childhood friends, Tommy, Cathy and Ruth. They grew up together in a English boarding school, but little do they know is that everything they have ever been told is a lie. They are actually clones, who have been...
It's funny that despite it being a dystopian novel, the fact that it is so is not what the story's really even about. It's just another example of how no matter what we're predestined for or the choices we make, we can truly adapt or accept almost anything, especially if people tell us it's normal. ...
Sad/creepy. Not exactly what I expected but to be fair by the time I got it out of the library I didn't even remember what it was about, just that I wanted to read it.
