Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
3.0

I thought this was an interesting story and portrayed a unique side of things. However, as the story progressed, I just found it to be less believable and sometimes unbearable. I can understand adding characteristics to the dystopian society authors create, but at some point you have to draw the line between reality and fiction. I don’t think this story, with all of its ties to our modern society, can hold up in our world. This could be a possibility for the future, but this book takes place during the 70’s and up to the 90’s.

The story itself was entertaining and it was an easy book to listen to. I would have preferred the book to be told in chronological order instead of jumping around, but maybe this added to the ‘mystery’.

I’ve read other books by this author and I will say this one was just not the greatest.
