This is such a wonderful piece of writing. Even though I knew the film and knew that I would love this it didn't cease to surprise me. The story, so decently told shows all the things I love about Ishiguros writing, especially his skill to convey informations through impressions that are only subtly hinted. You are not told what to believe, but decent unbiased descriptions make the reader feel and understand so much more than the story seems to tell in the beginning. Especially the last chapter was so deeply moving that I can honestly say that -though I enjoyed the other two books of his I read till now- this is my favorite by far.

I’m so glad I kept going with this because book because the first hundred or so pages were a little hard to get through but I ended up really loving it. The character of Stevens is actually kind of funny (maybe unintentionally?) and it was interesting to see his realisations and regrets throughout the book. It is kind of trying in the beginning because there’s a lot of stuff that gets written about that you’re just like “okay and…?” but then it becomes kind of addictive and way more engaging. The ending was pretty sad but also hopeful at the same time.

A bit slow at first but picked up towards the end. Very interesting message and I hope I’m never consumed in work like that holy eff. Anyway, tell the people you love that you love them
