Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro

3.0

This book had a very interesting tone throughout. It's narrated by an AI robot friend, so it makes sense that the language wouldn't feel totally human. But more than that I felt like maybe it was a YA novel? Perhaps that's just because a majority of the time it centers on children. It was quite winning and charming, with just a touch of dystopian nightmare to make things interesting. I enjoyed the commentary on class and social dynamics, but the lack of centering this made it feel more childlike in a way. In sum, not a bad book, just not sure what I was expecting and what I ultimately came away with.
