About this listen

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.

Reasonable story, based on an interesting idea. Could of been much shorter with little story sacrifice.The reader mumbled which was quite annoying. F/nished it, but nearly abandoned.Would not recommend

Not bad, not worth the hype

I’m sure I would have enjoyed this book had it been narrated by someone else.

Couldn’t cope with the narration

I’m writing this at 4am because I couldn’t stop listening until the book had finished.
I struggle to get into books but this one had me fully engaged straight away.
Interesting, thought provoking and full of love (but not sentimental nor the leading theme).
I thoroughly enjoyed this book; food for the soul and mind.

When the story behind, you really are thrown into the middle of a situation and scenario that is full of unfamiliar phrases and actions. Going completely blind into this as I did, I was there for the ride - finding out why the children were at the school, what the strange education was for, what they were being prepared for.
It's really a fascinating and well-observed character study with an alternate history background. A warning tale also. Very good!
