Customer Reviews

Couldn't put it down

Not a feel good story by any means but gripping and emotional.

Mildly entertaining

I'm not a huge fan of dystopian reads. I liked the story, I liked the characters, and the plot but I wasn't wowed by this book. It kind of reminds me of the movie "The Island" which also isn't the usual genre I would pick. Try it for yourself if you are a fan of dystopian reads for sure.

All the feels - a must read!

I read this book years ago, and keep on coming back to it. It’s a dystopian romance that will make you cry. I’ve recommended it to countless people, all of whom loved it. I’m quite shook by the other review. It is one of Ishiguro’s finest

Strange; didn't keep my attention

All in all, not the worst book I've read. While I liked the concept, it could have been so much better. I finished it just to see where the author was going. The synopsis makes it sound much more interesting and mysterious. But you find out the "mystery" maybe halfway through (if not sooner) and then nothing really is revealed from that point on. It was a letdown. It's also written in a bit of a "stream of consciousness" way (not my favorite style to begin with) so that makes it a bit hard to stay interested. I often finish a book in a day or two. I'd only pick this one back up when I had nothing else to do and was just trying to get through it to see if anything interesting happened. It did not.
