I finally finished Never Let Me Go and I was actually very satisfied by the end. It was written by Kazuo Ishiguro, who also wrote The Remains of the Day, and Never Let Me Go unfolds similarly to that book. Sometimes it feels slow, but as you read, you realize you’ve come a long way in deeply relating to the characters and understanding the state of the world in which they live.
Never Let Me Go has a Sci-fi twist thrown into the mix, but I wouldn’t exactly describe this book as being science fiction. Rather, it is more of a gentle, literary study of humanity, ethics and existentialism. By the end of the book, without giving anything away, I was left reflecting about what I call meaningful, sacred, and humane.

Ugh! Bring a book.
