Rezension von MaraFirst book club book. It got better in the second half. I liked the characters a lot but I kinda missed a more exciting story behind them. Still a nice read.
Rezension von ChiaraI enjoyed this book from the first page to the last and what more can I say than it left me vulnerable, touched and deeply in love.

Rezension von kenMy thing about <i>Never Let Me Go</i> is the slowness of it. Especially as a book read for a class in university, it's required, so I can't drop it as I normally would. I'm glad I stuck through it, however. The conversation the novel opens up about trans/posthumanism appeals to me. It was surprising how, in my discussion with this text with my brother, there is so much in video games that contains similar themes with <i>Never Let Me Go</i>, though with different focus. A concern regarding the Guardians at Hailsham: <spoiler>were they not aware that by teaching the clones/students anything about art or culture, or by cultivating their sense of selves, it would only make it more difficult for the clones to do their purpose? It seems antithetical to give the clones a humanist education if they're not deemed humans at all. What was the point? Miss Emily says it's to prove the existence of the soul, but why does that matter when she still finds Kath and Tommy repulsive? Or are the Hailsham Guardians anti-clone?</spoiler>
Rezension von Rohit NairIt's a romantic horror story? Stomach was churning throughout the novel, perhaps because of the inevitability of events. Definitely worth a read.
