Read More: Never Let Me Go

I have to say this book was nothing like what I thought it would be. Kristin told me that it was really similar to Kazuo Ishiguro's other famous book The Remains of the Day, a slow moving story about a head butler who chooses duty over love.

So I was quite surprised to find out that Never Let Me Go is actually a science fiction novel. I don't really want to go into any detail about the book because I think anything I might say would ruin the story. There's a lot of mystery in the book, and you learn little by little what's going on.

The idea of the book wasn't anything new. It's been in other science fiction books and movies (one of which was terrible, but had Ewan McGregor in it, so A+!), but I thought he did a really good job of telling his tale and I was kept interested the whole time, so I do recommend it!

On another note, this was the first book I've read on a Kindle. The experience was ok. Because Kristin got a large version to read PDFs with it was a bit heavy and made my hand cramp holding it up. So I still prefer books!

I still maintain that the two books are a lot alike. I think Ishiguro took two old, stodgy British genres (the "butler describing his splendid employer" book and the "boarding school childhood" book) and turned them on their heads. I loved them both for that. And both books are about love and longing and regret, which I think he does so well too.
