Never Let Me Go is a fictional story focusing on three classmates from a unique boarding school, who have to each deal with the questions of loss and mortality. Kazuo Ishiguro is able to talk about the difficult issues of the future that we all have to eventually face. How as we grow older, we'll lose our friends and family, things once familiar to us disappear, while trying in vain to cling to our memories of how things used to be. Kazuo asks one of life's unanswerable questions, of how do we come to accept the fact that our lives are limited and attach some meaning to our limited existence?
After finishing this book it definitely made me think and consider the important points that was dealt with in the book. This novel is extremely different from my average reads. The book was not fast paced but followed the life of the three school children as they grow up, information was slowly given. The book didn’t make its own statements, but lets the reader form their own ideas, making it a very interesting read.
