Stay! Read on! It’s a awesome book. You will be rewarded for staying
It wasn’t my cup of tea but I did finish it.
I finished it, but in retrospect I could have read something much better during that time. It’s…just….so……..slow.
Ishiguro is not for everyone. But those of us who love him do find his books deeply rewarding.
I was fairly skeptical for the first third or half of the book. It felt like it was going to be too obvious and predictable and trite. I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out.
And I think that deliberately subverting expectations ended up being pretty essential to why I loved it. But it can also make it a frustrating read.
It’s in my top ten, but it also broke my heart.
Keep with it, it does take about half the book before you understand what’s going on
I am actually getting bored. Thanks for the heads up.
Loved it! He’s an adventurous writer and I admire him more with every book of his I read.
a rare example of a book i did not persevere with.
Loved it ❤️
Me too!
Just ordered this along with Remains of the Day.
This book creates a spell … an alternate entirely believable reality that will haunt you as will the characters.
Keep going. It’s wonderful.
I thought it was mesmerizing, haunting…I still think about it several years after reading it.
It’s complicated, but I still think about it.
I finished it, but it is not a favorite of mine.
I didn’t super care for the writing. But I will also never forget the story. I would say it is worth a read if you tend to read more than 30 books a year. …is there a movie? This might be the one time the movie would be better than the book!
The subject matter was very disturbing.
I loved the remains of the day. I hated this one and didn’t finish it.
I would get impatient with it, but I am glad I read it and then watched the movie.
Stay!
