      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. Where upon graduation, shuffled of to "camps" to live until they had been taught what they're responsibilities really were. Seems wrong to do that. After all they, were humans, cloned or not.

    • 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.

      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.

Book Description

From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day comes a devastating new novel of innocence, knowledge, and loss. As children Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school secluded in the English countryside. It was a place of mercurial cliques and mysterious rules where teachers were constantly reminding their charges of how special they were.

Now, years later, Kathy is a young woman. Ruth and Tommy have reentered her life. And for the first time she is beginning to look back at their shared past and understand just what it is that makes them special–and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together. Suspenseful, moving, beautifully atmospheric, Never Let Me Go is another classic by the author of The Remains of the Day
