The beginning and end of the book are gripping, the rest is a drag.

I was interested in the mist at the start - but the ending/explanation felt like it fell flat

Dnf.

I really tried sticking to this book. But I can't. Still love Ishiguro, though. But this one was a big miss.

The narrator for this book was so good. Also, the book was so good. This would’ve been a 5 star except I think the book slowed down a bit in the middle. But the book ending and the beginning had me near tears and I can’t quite explain why
