katymaryreads 's review for:

The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
5.0
emotional reflective sad medium-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

This is all the mote beautiful for being so understated. There is so much that the reader sees that poor Mr Stevens does not, but it is never spelt out. He is a hard character to really like, and would have been a nightmare to work with, but i couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He missed out on so much and didn't even realise. A wonderful book.
Incredible narration by Dominic West.
