Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro
3.0
Meh
I feel like I should have felt more but there was not a strong emotional story for me as the story is being told by a robot who is still figuring out the world. Her naïveté was consistent throughout the book and that kind of bothered me because I don’t think we got any real insights into he human condition and what does it mean to the human or any of the big questions that were being poised at the start. Josie and her mum are complex people and I don’t think Klara ever fully grasped that.
I pushed through the book, despite never really enjoying it, because i had hope it would go somewhere but it never really did for me.. there were some “wow, the mother is crazy” moments but nothing beyond that.
I wish we got explicitly told what it meant to be “lifted”
I’m giving it three stars because although it was severely underwhelming, I didn’t feel like I lost brain cells reading it
