Never Let Me Go

Wrote a review for

i really loved all three of our main characters and the story we're told

for me it was only after 100+ pages that i was really engaged with the story, but once i was i really enjoyed it. Also Ive been having to read a lot of another book at the same time, which gave me the rare feeling of wanting to read more of this but not being able to

I found the concept quite compelling and definitely one which would be fun to tease out with a friend or a reading group - both the ethics and the mechanics. Personally i found my opinion changing as the story went on.

Really interesting to me that they made a movie about this. Feels very soft and pensive and not exactly dramatic. I wonder if it plays out the same or if it's like insipired by this setting

-- spoilers--

kazuo ishiguro recorded some tiktoks re his books and I really want to watch the one i saw where he answers the question "why don't they run" which seems unrelated to this story to me
