Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

rakshit087's review against another edition

4.0

the first half i found a bit slow, but the second half was great.
it's written in such a way that you will start feeling "nostalgia" for memories you never had. also the ending blew me up.

I don't give many books 5 stars. This is the best novel I've read in years.

Highly recommended.

there’s a reason every review of this book contains spoilers, because the mystery of it is also the magic of it, as it’s difficult to describe or discuss without mentioning the main themes (which would spoil) just trust the reviews and read it
