The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
3.75
emotional reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I really don't know how to rate this. On one hand, I polished it off in 3 days and was always looking forward to reading more, which is kind of surprising to me when it's very not my sort of book. Reflecting on it, I can see why people call it a masterpiece but it...just didn't land for me somehow.

I enjoyed it, I can see why people say what they did about it, but it did not hit me in that way.
