Never Let Me Go Twentieth Anniversary Edition

one of my favourite books of all time

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

will never have words for how much i love this story, the construction, the pain, the rawness, "the good, the bad and the ugly" if you will. and the powerful, yet elegant and effortless seeming writing style that feels like poetry to me. this story is one of a kind, definite must-read.

'books to read before you die'

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

Kazuo Ishiguro just knows how to get under your skin in the best way possible. From the point of view of Kathy H., we get to be part of a childhood, a young, and then later, an actual adulthood of three friends growing up under quite strange circumstances. The longing for life and the question of whether and how much our paths have already been laid out for us is so vividly present, you can't not feel for those characters and can't help thinking about your own life and your own mortality as well. Gripping and beautifully written, 'Never let me go' has been one of my favorite books for a long time and every re-read is always so worth it!
