Never Let Me Go

3.7

First of all, I don't understand the hype surrounding this book. Yeah, it's a good book... but it moves rather slowly. Ishiguro's writing was very pleasant, but I just found most of Part I & II quite boring. Part III was my favorite since the plot was progressing more clearly than the first two parts.

The story was predictable at some points, like Ishiguro's trying to make it not obvious when it's literally the opposite. I don't know that's just me. But it was really interesting to see the character development of his characters and how they shift from one event to another.

Overall this book was missing something that lovers of this book seemed to have not noticed, but it's still a fascinating read though. It lacks a lot of details, scientifically speaking, and there's not a lot of beautiful prose. Anyway, I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to imagine the unimaginable. It's not an easy-read, so be patient.
