Synopsis
The narrator of Kazuo Ishiguro’s sixth novel is a woman named Kathy H., a graduate of an experimental English boarding school called Hailsham who, many years later, becomes curious about the true nature of the place. Along with Tommy, one of her two best friends from those days, Kathy does some research into Hailsham. What she finds is a stunning revelation about herself and her fellow graduates, and raises questions about cloning, genetic experimentation, and their consequences. Ishiguro’s first science-fiction novel, NEVER LET ME GO examines a philosophy that is intrinsically antihuman even as it probes deeply into its characters’ touching and vulnerable humanity.

Reviews
Never let me go by kazuo ishiguro is a science fiction type book, but a tricky one, because it doesn't seem sci fi ish. You start out reading the book, and think it is a normal book, with a woman in the 1990's reminicing about life going to a boarding school in the 70's. I don't know why, but I always like movies and books about boarding schools, even though I never went to one. But as you read on, you learn that there is something more to these children. The reader kind of learns along with the children, who don't fully know who or what they are. It's really creepy that way. It's a horror story in a sneaky sort of way, without the usual monsters or slashing or killers, and yet, with all that stuff in a way as well. I would definitely recommend this book. I can't help but feel like this is something that might come to pass in the future...
