I read this after enjoying the film, and I wasn’t disappointed. The characters’ internal lives are well written, and you feel a really close connection with them. It’s a disturbing idea at the heart of the plot and while this does cast a shadow over the story, it never becomes macabre but instead provokes reflecting about social control and individual freewill. But it’s not densely written and is in fact very simply written. A beautiful moving read.

For the first 200 pages I was of the opinion that this is a good book but there wasn’t anything great, however, as soon I was nearing the end, my love for this book augmented unexpectedly and I had a profound love for Ishiguro .

If you haven’t read this book or seen the movie, please do. It’s a wonderful piece of literature that will really make you consider life and the rules we set. I won’t say more, other than to say, buy it and read it.
