Never read this book ?
17 August 2007I’ve recently finished reading “Never let me go” by Kazuo Ishiguro.
I came away from the book deeply distressed and troubled. The book is one of the most deceptive that I have ever read. One expects from the title, and even from reading many of the initial chapters that it is a romantic, coming of age kind of novel - till the pieces fall together. The absolute lack of concepts of free will and the characters’ mute resignation and surrender leave a very strong but unpleasant impact.
The book is, in my opinion, a literary masterpiece in a class of the author’s own making.
Do not read it for fun or expecting to liven up your spirits.
