A review by biha
The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro

challenging mysterious tense slow-paced

2.0

His most difficult read if im honest. It took me a long time to finish this book as I genuinely felt like i was having a panic attack with the way Mr. Ryder was ALWAYS being distracted by something. Did he even sleep? It seems like he just took a nap or two, was interrupted, then woke up to another task feeling like he only slept for a few moments. There were so many questions answered and I genuinely felt like I was in dream- which after finishing the book & reading another review,  apparently this is the tone. Which makes a lot more sense but if you’re someone who already has anxiety AND anxiety dreams about performing/ doing a task/ having pressure on yourself to succeed- this is not the book for you. I absolutely love Kazuo Ishiguro and I would like to re read this book with a new outlook and perspective and I think could see it becoming more likeable.
