SpoilerI'd already seen the film, so knew this would be a deep and heartaching read. This is honestly one of my favourite reads now, the friendships are loving, flawed - the usual envy and adoration so well written. The characters are complex and interesting. The topic is unnerving, it's so matter of fact and horrific, and you wonder how people justify it but they simply do, getting on with their lives.
It was like watching "The Island" from the periphery, if it was set 30 years earlier and you couldn't really see what's going on.
How am i supposed to find closure now?This guy should pay for my therapy-----I've finally cleared my mind enough to write a review for this.never let me go is a very plotless story and it reads like the flashback montage of a movie and i guess that's what it actually is.the story starts with our narrator Kathy telling us that she's a carer and that she's finally got her first notice for a donation after picking her own schoolmates to look after for 11 years. right from the start she starts mentioning Hailsham, Tommy and Ruth and as the book progresses you come to realize exactly who these people are and what they mean to Kathy.right off the bat i started asking myself questions. what is Hailsham? what are these donations about? why are they raising a bunch of children in an isolated place and teach them art? what does that have to do with donations?but fear not! i got my answers at the end in a very.....straight forward way in form of long monologues by an old lady's reminiscing the past.there is only one question i have that's been unanswered but i won't ask it for the sake of leaving this review spoiler free
