(Original Review, 1995-12-12)I'm pretty respectful of other people's opinions and durable literary reputations. Reading Ulysses was bliss for me, but I have no harsh words for people who don’t like it. It is obviously something that has engaged reader’s minds, hearts, and souls, and perhaps more imp...
This might be described as a 'marmite' book. I was drawn to 'The Unconsoled' based entirely on my enjoyment of 'Remains of the Day' and 'Never let me go' and the confidence that attends the offerings of a consistently great writer. However, though I stuck with it (it's quite long), for me, it never ...
Uhhhh, I kind of loved this! Were you to tell me that I would love reading a 500+ page book that had the structure of a dream I would not have believed you. There is enough of a throughline in the plot, though, to make me want to follow Ryder around this weird-ass town that really cares a whole lot ...

I just wanted to reach out, grab the characters and shake them silly!! Espcially Mr Ryder... Events just seem to be out of his control and when he wanted to take control, he just appears to be rude...Maybe I just don't understand the point of the novel but really, I don't care enough to think abou...
Truthfully, I abandoned this book several weeks ago - I've only gotten a few pages further into this book since the last time I wrote about it. However, I've still had it in my apartment, bookmark in place, taunting me. I've now officially decided to abandon it and move on to something else, guilt-f...
I love Ishiguro, and I loved all the critical literature about this book. I also loved the themes of memory and regret, forgiveness, forgetting and sorrow, mistakes and woundedness. Near the end of the book, Mrs. Hoffmann’s monologue about how she has dreams of “incredible tenderness” shortly before...
I don't know what it is about Ishiguro, but I just felt compelled to read this, even though it's a bit slow and dribbles here and there.He's a fantastic author and I want to read more. I wouldn't say this is a great story, I can't say I really cared what happened next, but reading it was so easy and...
