Just finished Never Let Me Go

It's the first I've read of his, and I recommend it. It is certainly disturbing, which you'll know if you are familiar with the story line, but it's also very well written, and intriguing. The underlying message, assuming I got it, is one that I agree with, wholeheartedly.

I've never read anything else by Ishiguro, and nor have I seen the movie version of "The Remains of the Day," but after reading this one, I guess I'll have to get my hands on that next... Anyone else familiar with his work? What did you think?

"Never Let Me Go," by Kazuo Ishiguro

I really liked "Remains of the Day".. I won't say anymore (I had, but then reliaed it might give some stuff away). Its very gentle and nice *s*

I also liked "When we were Orphans".. You know I like books that set the images nicely, and it definately did that.

Will read "Never Let Me Go," soon..

Hi Racer,

Knew I'd posted about this book before with Nikki.
