Never Let Me Go

Book Review - I just finished Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. He also wrote The Remains of the Day. This is definately not in the fun, entertainment category of fiction. This is literature. And as such took me awhile to get through it. It has an uneasy feel to the location and subject matter. The details of what is going on are only let out extremely slowly, to the point of being annoying. You only get a clear idea of the plot during the last third of the book. But Ishiguro is quite brilliant at providing that creepy/but very normal world that one can also find in books such as Farenheit 451 or 1984. But it most reminded my of "A Handmaid's Tale". There is no violence in the book, but a slow, unnerving process of events. But I was glad when it was over. Score - 6.
