    About this audiobook

    In one of the most acclaimed novels of recent years, Kazuo Ishiguro imagines the lives of a group of students growing up in a darkly skewed version of contemporary England.

    Narrated by Kathy, now 31, Never Let Me Go dramatizes her attempts to come to terms with her childhood at the seemingly idyllic Hailsham School and with the fate that has always awaited her and her closest friends in the wider world. A story of love, friendship, and memory, Never Let Me Go is charged throughout with a sense of the fragility of life.

      My year off was also interesting, in that I didn’t feel any less loved, or cherished, or wanted. Why? Because my life is already rich with soulmates, and I got the chance to behold that. You don’t have to shag someone for them to be a soulmate. We do

      A really subtle and moving exploration of the terrible ways people can treat other people.

      This is really boring. It goes on and on about kids in a boarding school. Repeating the same writers trick over and over. The trick is to make you think something really interesting and dark is about to happen but it never does. It’s completely stupid and tedious. Life is worth more than spending time on this crap

      this is an amazing story that goes beyond the normal scifi tropes into what it really means to be human and how easily that can be lost.

    • 5/5
      hi there! for me this book is about such little pleasures we do have sometimes on our way to death that make us smile, feel sorrow and be grateful at the same time, make us step back a little to watch the beauty, the force and the fragility of the moment.
    • 5/5
      A stunning book but as desperately sad a storyline as I could imagine...it reminded me of the utter futility of circumstance that some of Thomas Hardy's characters find themselves in. Very bleak ..I learn three was a film made but I really don't think I have the heart.
    • 2/5
      The way the narrator read the book was very annoying. From loud to silent, fast to slow, angry to calm in just 1 sentence! There was no need to read it like that! The listener should be focusing on the story and not on the way she narrates the book! Very distracting and annoying.
    • 4/5
      I did enjoy this book but it is very slow moving. Am not worthy of reviewing it but that's how I felt.
    • 5/5
      Beautiful original and yes very sad. Kazuo Ishiguro is an incredible writer!!
    • 5/5
      Beautiful heart breaking story yet with the tint of modern sci-fi society
    • 3/5
      I expected so much more from this based on reviews but its was just OK for me in the end. Disappointed.
    • 4/5
      I was gladly surprised when I realized this was a dystopian drama novel.
      I really liked the flow of the story, although did not appreciate how Ishiguro strings you along with a reference about a person or an event that is key to the story, but you don't know about them/it yet. However, I forgave it (sort of, therefore the 4 straw) given that the base for the plot seemed to me utterly despicable, yet completely credible.
      I have thoroughly enjoyed this book.
    • 2/5
      the interesting thing about this book is the lack of "revolutionary mindset" on the characters on this dystopian kind of world but I found the writing to be kind of irritating and boring
    • 4/5
      Beautifully written and so communicative. I felt like the story was interacting with me. Would be more enjoyed if you listen without any expectations.
    • 1/5
      Absolutely miserable story. Sorry if this is unpopular but wow. It just dropfeeds you information only to info-dump world-building in the last ten pages, it's thoroughly underwhelming. The passivity of it all doesn't help, making everything feel mellowed out.
      Also the line delivery in the audio version is sometimes very intense to the effect that it throws you off of listening.
    • 5/5
      I loved everything about this book! Very well-written. A masterpiece.
    • 4/5
      Its one of those books that are more or less uneventful or not what I had expected but surprisingly sucks you in and despite the questions specifically why there was no resistance you are held right up to the very last page. Very good story telling. This book deals with emotional and psychological issues of these students which weaves a web of a story.
    • 4/5
      Ishiguro´s books are so mellow, they deal with heavy topics but the tone of them is often ambiguous, calm yet on the edge of revealing something (see a Pale view of Hills as well as this one). They are heartfelt and emotional , although better read than listened to - despite the good narrator.
    • 5/5
      Listen with [The Day I Met Her] by [Ester Abrami]. Trust me.
    • 3/5
      It took me a while to figure out what the story was actually about. I started to get involved in it towards the latter half.
    • 5/5
      A delightful delivery of a delightful book. Touching, understated and mysterious.
    • 5/5
      What a heartbreaking story Kazuo Ishiguro created for us to read/listen.
    • 5/5
      Highly recommend. Gets good a few chapters in. Very interesting storyline- was not expecting to like it as much as I did.
    • 5/5
      Amazing, so convincingly and vividly imagined - i was transported.
    • 3/5
      This is my second Kazuo Ishiguro novel. While I appreciate the masterful way he crafts his stories, I find his characters cold and unrealistic, which reduces my enjoyment of the story. I find them difficult to relate to. I think, on the whole, Ishiguro's books are not for me.
