2.0

one of those books that has great concept but tedious implementation. do not be fooled by the sci fi label, "never let me go" is more of a slice-of-life that focuses on character study and trying to understand what makes us humans and where is our place in life. 
like i said, great concept. but i just forget the names of the supporting characters and their defining trait. sometimes i just re-read the sentences in the book cause i was so distracted. 

and before the bibliophiles crusade me: "the remains of the day" Is literally one of my faves.
