Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro

one sentence summary:
the more idealistic something seems the less idealistic it actually is.

review:
this is a novel specifically designed to make the reader feel uncomfortable, and it does a fantastic job of it. that is all i am going to tell you about it. The writing is fantastic and the characters are well developed, so much so that you may end up resenting the attachment you feel towards them. This is often categorized in Science Fiction though that is not where I would put it (don't ask me where to put it because I have had that issue myself, it ended up in general fiction but I felt kinda guilty putting it there.) This is another one that i recommend only for serious readers who don't mind being a bit put off by what they are reading.

7/10 (though it is one of my favourite books)
