Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

An excellent read, a haunting novel that kept my attention throughout. The dialogue was very straightforward in stark contrast to the intricate weavings of the story. Ishiguro captures the innocence of childhood, the querying nature of adolescence and the hopeless struggle of resigned adulthood extremely well. A book that leaves you thinking.


Reminiscent in tone (but not subject matter) to Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood.
