4.5 stars 

I can understand everyone who says this book is boring and too vague. However, I have to disagree. I think the vagueness in narrative makes sense for Klara's POV and how she absorbs information in the world. I think it adds to the suspense and I found it thrilling at times. 

What an interesting book. I can definitely see connections to Never Let Me Go in both narrative style, structure, and themes. Don't confuse that for me saying that the two books are the same
