Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
4.0

Finally I was prompted to read this one from my TBR shelf thanks to the MMD Book Club! I watched the movie years ago, but it had been long enough that I didn't remember any of the twists or unveilings.

I was certainly intrigued by the writing and tone of this book. It's certainly written in a way that you know something sinister and off-putting is going on, and you're compelled to keep going so you can figure out just what that is exactly. I don't know that I'll read more by this author or in this genre (literary sci-fi), but I appreciate book club for pushing me out of my comfort zone every once in a while.
