Timothy Conner tdurden3607fdc — ** spoiler alert ** I've read this book twice. So here are some scatter thoughts on it/response to other reviews. The tone starts off extremely conversational. It can be hard to adjust to except for the author adds in just enough intrigue to keep things going. A word here...a word there which alerts you to the fact that you don't really know what's going on here. One theme of the reviews I read is that nothing happens here. Maybe it's the result of reading a summary before you start? Because technically this book is "sci fi" and alternate history (taking place in the 60s-80sish) but it is written like it is not. Therefore, if the novel is in 1st person, why would the sci-fi aspects be fully explored as the narrator does not view their own life as sci fi? Kath only knows her life as her life which is a mixture of the mundane and the extraordinary. However, what many readers find mundane are extraordinary moments for Kath and vice versa. The one thing I love is just how many questions this book brings up. Even after I finish, I find that I have endless questions especially about the school, Hailsham. Was Lucy right or wrong? These characters are doomed to an early and lonely death. Is it better to prepare them for what is ahead or keep them in blissful ignorance? Kath struggles with this very concept as she looks back at Hailsham with extreme nostalgia of the good old days but also fights back regret and anger over not really know and therefore not fully living especially in regards to her relationship with Tommy. So while donating organs until you die seems like it should take center stage, Kath is more concerned with the complicated lifelong relationships of her Hailsham friends. After all, even the closest ones grow up and grow apart in many ways, exacerbated by their impending future. So in this respect, Never Let Me Go is a simple coming of age novel. Still the ending often seems abrupt and uncertain. We don't know Kath's future even though her two closest friends have both "completed" and she has only just started donations. On my second reading, I came up with this theory and reread the first couple pages to see. As mentioned, the novel is written in first person and I think this is the key. Now imagine yourself living in this alternate world where clones are raised to donate organs. You and everyone else has learned to at least ignore the moral implications of whether that person has a soul and true emotions. A few protests and revolutionary movements started in the 70s around this but were eventually subdued and just didn't gain enough steam. Hailsham is the last of these revolutionary schools that try to inspire these clones through education and creativity but by the time the author is writing, it is closed down. All other clones are subjected to much worse living conditions and less education, although the book is vague on these points. Kath and Tommy finally track down the ever elusive "Madame" to find out if the gallery exists, because the gallery contains the best of their artwork which they have guessed would show their innermost souls and thoughts. Kath and Tommy believe, that with their love for each other, this artwork will prove their love and grant them extra time to be together before the donations start. Their former teacher informs them that the artwork was taken, not to prove the innermost thoughts of their souls, but simply to prove to the general public that these clones had souls and that they were worth educating. It's also worth mentioning that the people who were cloned were often the lowest members of society meaning that even if the public viewed these clones as real people they still viewed them largely as degenerates. Sooooo, finally arriving at my final point. Kath's narration in the first few pages sets the scene as if she is directly talking or writing to someone rather than just the general audience. What we are now reading is basically her legacy as we can assume that she started her donations and then completed. If anyone was ever in any doubt about whether these clones were living breathing human beings possessing a soul, or that the original person from which they were cloned would doom them as degenerates, Kath's book reveals a soul. She was a person who enjoyed fine literature and the arts. She was someone who defined herself as a good and caring friend, empathetic to others emotions. And she was someone who constantly criticized herself for the failings of the original person who she was cloned after who she suspected to be a porn star or prostitute. In essence, her day to day anxieties and fears were no different from anyone else. She was simply raised to believe that her life had little worth while her death did and that her future was already decided. The evidence that "Madame" and Miss Emily needed may very well be this very book.

Zalina Pabuhat zaipography13 — This book is a wonderful read. This brand new Author has developed his characters fully and tells a suspenseful tale. The imagery puts you right into the pages and sucking you in. I look forward to reading more of his work. Bonnie Jean Higgins www.dreamscapepoetry.com

Kyle Caven kylecaven — I could really relate to this touching story that shows the personal conflict of people who leave home to make a new life in another country. This shows how one may always yearn for one of their two countries. I think that my grandparents always thought of Poland as home, even though they spent most of their lives here, happily. I especially enjoyed how Say juxtaposes pictures to contrast the features and cultures of the U.S. and Japan and how the images carry the theme of family heritage & following in the footsteps of your grandparents.
