All in all I personally really enjoyed it. The beginning of the story is slow, which at some point felt more like setting the scene took too long, but it does get better and darker as the story progresses, even thrilling throughout the second half.
FULL REVIEW ON MY WEBSITE
Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, “Klara and the Sun”, is a thought-provoking exploration of a world where Artificial Intelligence is commonplace. The protagonist, Klara, is an Artificial Friend (AF) created to provide companionship to humans. Through Klara's point of view, the novel examines the complexities of love, loss, connection and mortality. It explores the boundaries between human and AI, and delves into themes of religion and a higher power whom Klara speaks to and believes influences her path.
Overall, Klara and the Sun is an absolutely beautiful, powerful and unforgettable novel. I highly recommend it and I'm sure it won't be the last of Ishiguro's novels I read!
Honestly it got me form start to finish. I was not able to stop reading it. One of my favourite books of 2015!
Another great and must-read classic. Absolutely enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to anyone.
It's interesting to read it and think about what I would do if I was in the situation of being invisible, or what other people would do. I honestly think that most people, if not everyone, would do some evil. Being invisible does just make being evil easier, and I'm pretty sure that everyone at some point thinks or has thought about doing something bad, something evil, but hasn't done it just because of the possible consequences they'd have to face if caught.
