nylki reviewed Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
Review of 'Never Let Me Go' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I liked the diary or memoir like writing style and the slow evolving story of this novel. Strong character development going on here as well. The world building here is deeply dystopion but ramps up the more pages you turn, as the protagonist more or less chronologically describes her growing up and discovering the world around her.
It takes place in the past (~1990s) but is only based to some extend on real world at that time but builds an alternative, though mostly very familar world (well, Great Britain mostly).
Without spoilering too much, but some story/world building elements seem unplausible to exist in such a global (national?) scale. But then again, its an alternative past kind of story.
3.5 Stars.
