Levente Graczia leventegraczia — A very touching and tender book, chilling in conception, but ultimately existentially authentic. Because ultimately, the "students" of Hailsham and their ilk are no different from any of us: just on an accelerated path. If there is a hopelessness, a certain sense of inevitability which is accepted, how is that any different from our own? Perhaps the greatest difference is that the "students" are conscious of it in a way that we, the so-called "normals" are able somehow magically to ignore. None of us gets out alive. I wish I hadn't known the basic premise behind the book, but with the recent release of the film and the attendant reviews and discussions in the media, it was difficult to overlook. Ishiguro very carefully controls the release of information, so that we are treated much as the "students" are: we are "told and not told" simultaneously. And the narrator, Kathy H., is obviously addressing her tale to some other "student": she frequently says, "I don't know how it was where you were, but at Hailsham…"; she's addressing someone who is intimate with the facts of "student life", and we—the general readers—are not really considered. It is as if we are reading someone's diary, where various allusions and references are assumed. There are no particularly strong characters in this book. Kathy, for all her good intentions and apparent competence in her role as a "carer", would be quite dull at a dinner or cocktail party. Her concerns, and those of her most intimate friends, Ruth and Tommy, are very narrowly focused. Some parts of her narrative were excruciatingly dull. This was quite an accomplishment for the author, because the dullness is paradoxically what drives the plot. I came to think of Kathy as simply naïve, a simple soul. "Soul" is a funny word, given the context attributed to it in the book. Because ultimately, Kathy and her ilk are no different from any of us.
