Know when to hold them and know when to fold them comes to mind when trying to write a review on this novel. I have been meaning to read this book for so long but something kept me from doing so for many years and sometimes it best to go with your instincts when it comes to books and this is just...
I was so impressed by The Remains of the Day that I was inspired to move on to this book by the same author. Admittedly it was also shortlisted for the Man Booker prize, but the quality of the writing was nonetheless similarly beguiling. Ishiguro has created another thought-provoking novel, which ta...
It took me a week to read the first 100 pages of this book. Then I finished the rest of it in a day. It takes a while to get going, but when it’s good, it’s really good. This is a difficult novel to review because the synopsis is misleading and doesn’t give enough information, but giving too much ...
“All children have to be deceived if they are to grow up without trauma.”I watched the movie years ago. The idea of the novel is really enthralling. I still remember the shock! The movie did shock me!I loved everything about the novel. I laughed sometimes! I cried most of the time! I realized how i...
Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro, author; Rosalyn Landor, narrator This novel is set in England, and deep into the novel, the reader will realize it takes place some time in the future. Although it is science fiction, it is really interesting since in one form or another, it could be a reality one da...
I´m not sure why I like this book as much as I do. The story is a bleak and depressing one and yet I still enjoyed it. Set in a dystopian world similar to ours Kathy, Ruth and Tommy are being raised for a single purpose at Hailsham, a school for special children, whose destinies are predetermined fo...
Spoilers ahead I've read this book before, but I can't remember when. Probably around 2010 when I think I bought the book. I remember feeling vaguely disappointed in it. It felt like a really bad mystery. I guessed all the twists way before they were revealed. Rereading I kept wondering if t...
3.5 stars, rounded down.Stylistically, this novel wasn't really my thing, and that is the only reason why I'm giving it a less-than-praiseworthy rating. The narrative style felt a bit too distant for me to really connect with the characters or be moved by the underlying love story. Or maybe it just ...
I have had this on my 'to read' list for several years and with Mr. Ihsiguro's recent release it came back to mind and I read it. This is set in a very similar yet very different world than our own. The protagonist and her friends were all created around 1970. It is difficult to write this and n...
I totally bought this book because of the description: “As a child, Kathy—now thirty-one years old—lived at Hailsham, a private school in the scenic English countryside where the children were sheltered from the outside world, brought up to believe that they were special and that their well-being ...
