A review by vimcenzo
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.
This was a brilliant book for the first part. It was a horror that slowly built up to its conclusion, made you comfortable and took away small details and slowly revealed its darkness as you find out the purpose of the school.

Aaaaaaaand then it became a very accurate representation of what it's like to talk to your friends after high school , that pretention of people acting like smart-asses who know everything and you drifting apart from them. That was about the point I called it quits. I liked it better as a horror, it felt like it was what it was building up to and that's still there, but it just starts faffing about doing not much of anything after that twist.
