A review by spiderfelt
The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro

5.0

So many reviewers before me have described this book perfectly. I loved the way the main character constantly questioned his own memories and retold bits of stories, as we do when trying to reconstruct events from the distant past. Ishiguro perfectly captures the inner monologue and leads us slowly down the path to a complete understanding at the end. Despite the fact that I have read two other Ishiguro novels, I really wasn't prepared to be knocked over by this one. I listened to 80% of the story over the course of one very long day.
