Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
4.0

This book was different. Its point of view is that of a female clone who grows up in a world where she and her friends must donate their organs as they get older and eventually die. I didn't like how it kept flashing back to other small anecdotes, that got annoying. The idea behind the story was intense though: fatalism and the inability to change one's fate were the prevalent themes.

Review #2 (10/02/11)
I actually really enjoyed this book more the 2nd time around. The constant flashbacks and tangents didn't get to me because I already knew how they connected to the main story. This book is really terribly sad, and now I want to see the movie.
