Never Let Me Go

iamacollage recommended this 1 year, 3 months ago

After several months of reading nothing inspiring, this book was the first in a long time to really engage me. This book makes you think about many of the issues of humanity and being human through its metaphors and storyline. There is one scene in particular which is very intense and emotional and made me cry for the first time in a while.

Only Ishiguro could make the horrors behind "Never Let Me Go" feel like a nostalgic stroll through its pages. With interesting characters and a great narrative, this books a must-read.

I love this book.I really fell in love with the characters and felt so sad about their plight.

Sad, and slightly creepy, but ultimately a compelling read that stays with you. A book that is definitely hard to put down.

Thought provoking, moving and eerie

Ishiguro has a unique gift for writing slow paced yet highly engaging stories. This equals his best novels. If you don't already know what the story is about, it's best to just read it and let the plot reveal itself. Even avoid the back cover synopsis, it gives away too much.

Beautifully written and intimate, this is a creeping tip toeing stroll to emotional ruin.
Cons: I found myself skipping some of the more languorous prose toward the end.
