"Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro


Front Cover

Never Let Me Go

~ Kazuo Ishiguro
Unexpectedly, I found myself reading this book. No idea what to expect, but I did know the author was a prize winning novelist.

It took me forever to finish, as I found it slow, very slow, yet I still continued on, much to the credit of the author's writing.

Detailed thoughts, feelings from these young people kept me trying my best to finish, to find out what it was about.

I suspected it was a science fiction, futurist story, and I was correct.

Congratulations to the author, it was very well conceived and expressively written.

Still, it wasn't one I'd want to re-read!

Fabulous!

Such an articulate man, very sensitive to the World around him. He recited stories, poems, on love, desire, friendship, families along with a vast amount of personal history.
His book is open!
