Summary

From the bestselling and Booker Prize winning author of Never Let me Go and The Remains of the Day, a stunning new novel - his first since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature - that asks, what does it mean to love? A thrilling feat of world-building, a novel of exquisite tenderness and impeccable restraint, Klara and the Sun is a magnificent achievement, and an international literary event.

... Klara draws you into her world and we learn as she learns. A fantastic read

From the very first line.....

The novel approaches many interesting ideas and concepts but unfortunately leaves them unexplored. The story indicates clearly where it's heading, revolves around some inevitabilities but resolves them all in essentially a singular paragraph.

Unfulfilling

An interesting, perhaps prophetic story. At times a bit slow but ultimately surprising and quite moving.

Very enjoyable read

This story was a rather u settling one leading me, the listener, trying to figure out just what Mr Ishiguro was writing about. There is always some tidbit to learn and take from his writing, yet this story left me baffled. Not sure I liked it, but will listen once more and see. Read beautifully by Sara Sui she kept the swift character changes smooth and discernible.

Rather confusing

Very good though obviously a theme that has been tackled many times before notably by Brian Aldiss whose novella was made into AI by Kubrick and Spielberg. Also echoes of Solaris by Stanislaw Lem

Very good though somewhat derivative
