    In today's society we already have surrogate mothers, why not surrogate organ doners? A compelling story of a possible future. What made me saddest was the fact they were raised in schools as normal children.

    Like many of Ishiguro's books, this is not so much about the actual storyline of the book, but about the characters of the book. We are encouraged to sympathize and think with characters about life and human nature. But the odd nonchalant treatment of the plot, which could just as easily been found in a scifi book, was distracting. I wanted to find out more about the purpose of the school the children attended and those who began and ran the program they were in.
    I am sure others liked this book. It was insightful and left me thinking. But it just wasn't my flavor.

  • Proceed with Caution

    I was thoroughly engaged in this book and really didn't put it down unless I had to. But it did leave me feeling unsatisfied, heartbroken. I quickly needed to read something else more uplifting afterward.
