A review by stephreads
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

mysterious reflective sad slow-paced

3.5

Coming of age/love triangle stories aren’t really my thing, but I thought I would give this a go because of the sci fi elements. Unfortunately, although those elements make up the bones of the world the characters live in, the ins and outs of that world are not at the forefront of the novel. I was most intrigued by

the ending, which does start to delve into the outside world a little more, but unfortunately not enough for me to find satisfying.

All of this is not a problem at all with how the book is written or the story itself, it’s more that it was just not really my cup of tea rather than anything else.

I did really like the way the narrator played with chronology while recounting earlier memories.
