Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

From the author of Klara and the Sun, Never Let Me Go tells the story of Kathy and her close friends, Ruth and Tommy. These friends are attending what seems to be an elite boarding school, Hailsham, set in the beautiful English countryside where they appear to have an ideal setting for childhood. Although, Kathy and the others begin to notice strange occurrences around the grounds of Hailsham and question why they're forbidden to leave. They begin to reveal truths, not only about Hailsham, but about their very existence. Kazuo Ishiguro spins another excellent science fiction/mystery which relies more on character development than sci-fi to explore themes such as friendship and love, the perils of technology, and the reasons for our existence. It's truly another remarkable work from Ishiguro.
