5.0�toiles sur 5 A recommended read, Mai 4 2005

Par	Paul Chana (Berlin, Germany) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Never Let Me Go (Hardcover)

NEVER LET ME GO stands out as one of the most remarkable books I have ever read. It is difficult to say whether this book is sci-fi or plain fiction. Whatever, it is unique in the sense that it would satisfies any high-minded reader who is versed with present day developments and what could happen in the future. The lesson learnt is that the meaning of life is best achieved when we find joy, joy which comes from the soul. That joy from the soul surpasses blind faith, unsubstantiated materialism and an idealistic purpose of life that is based on discrimination. Ishiguro successfully weaved this story through characters that we can easily relate to, characters who in their pathetic states mirror man at the height of his false sense of achievement. In its portrayal of the futility of life, I got reminded of DISCIPLES OF FORTUNE, FRANKENSTEIN, UNCONSOLED. This is a recommended read for a deep-thinking person.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Haunting., Avril 20 2008

Par	Alexina P. "pulse_is_rising" (Montr�al, Qu�bec) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Never Let Me Go (Paperback)

This is not romance or just a philosophical story. There is a bit of both, but they're not the focus of the story, and anyway you'll walk away feeling empty and heartbroken and just... sad for these kids who grow up with hope and getting nothing in return. This is a powerful, heartwrenching story about the future of humans and how far we'll go to be "healthy", how selfish and how barbarian we'll be - if this comes to be. And, honestly, I have no doubt we might come to that.

It's a philosophical essay disguised as fiction-telling, and I think that's what gives it so much more credence. Instead of just talking about medicinal cloning, Ishiguro goes right at the heart of the subject, showing what it'll do to humanity.

The title, based on a song in the book, goes right at the heart of this book. Why are we so selfish? Why don't we accept others? These people accept each other, why don't we accept them for being more than just medical benefits?

My sister lent this to me one day when I was staying with her, telling me I might like it. She was so right. I finished it in one evening - all 300-so pages of it in a few hours. And I think I cried a bit.

I'd read another of this author's works, and was surprised at how different NEVER LET ME GO was, or could be, from what he'd previously done. Read more

1.0�toiles sur 5 Profoundly Disappointing
It's hard to believe an author as good as Ishiguro could write an endlessly boring, tiresome novel such as this, which is a short story pretending to be a book. Read more

3.0�toiles sur 5 worth reading, but not if you're a one book a monther
This book is good but, for me, it didn't live up to the hype. It is well written, but I never got that "I can't put this book down" sense until the last 50 pages or so... Read more
