A review by katieinca
Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro

2.0

I have no problem with a robot book. Or a vaguely unsettling eerie book. I don't love a dystopian setting, but I can get past that. I really don't mind a limited understanding or undersharing/untrustworthy narrator. But I found this odd in mostly uninteresting ways. I've now read half a dozen rave reviews about the wonderful things Ishiguro does in this book, and I remain unconvinced, and puzzled. And I think the only other Ishiguro I read was Remains of the Day something like twenty years ago, so maybe he's just not for me, but this was definitely not for me.
