A review by hannahbananas
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

dark emotional sad

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

this was a good book, but i did not move me very much (some people cried while reading it?). i mean i was invested in the plot and curious about what the gallery is and what world they were actually living in, but somehow i did not really catch me or made me feel something.
additionally, i did notfind  the plottwist mindblowing or anything, nether did the caracters really intersted me. i found the conversations, especially in the end between kathy and tommy, just too short and so much not beeing said.
still the atmosphere, being set in a almost mystical boarding school in england and the road trips and everything, i still enjoyed reading the book. i just don't think i will be thinking about this a lot in the future...

 "reading "Never Let Me Go" is like attending the bedside of an organ transplant patient forever on the verge of rejecting. We yearn for the science fiction and romantic aspects of Ishiguro's story to match and thrive. We want desperately for it to work, but somehow, in spite of all that, it never quite takes."
