rodiemom 's review for:

Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro
5.0
hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

An interesting look into the future with challenging topics such as AI and climate change and how we react to new technology and differences of opinion towards it all. 

I never would have expected to be so moved by the feelings of a robot doll, but her sense of purpose was so compelling. The ideas put forth in this book are a little bit unnerving. But so sweet and powerful at the same time.
