Description
Narrated
by Kathy, now 31, “Never Let Me Go” hauntingly dramatises her attempts to come
to terms with her childhood at the seemingly idyllic Hailsham School, and with
the fate that has always awaited her and her closest friends in the wider world.
My
Opinion
This is
a story of love, friendship and memories. The story is charged with a sense of
the fragility of life, which you feel on almost every page and in every memory
that Kathy tells.
This
book makes you think about what being a human means, how you define humanity.
I´m
afraid I can´t really say much about this book, except I wish we had read in high
school and talked about it back then.
It is
not my favourite story and never will be, and to be quite frank, I was a bit
bored by it´s slowness in between. It was, however, still a nice read.
