I've always liked Ishiguro's writing style and in my opinion this book was, once again, very well-written; I really enjoyed reading every single page of it. The themes of classism and identity persist throughout the entire book, tying into the book's dystopian setting which is slowly explained. If I had one complaint it would be that the world-building wasn't as elaborate as I would have liked.
