A review by emiann2023
The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro

4.0

I can definitely see how this is a Nobel-prize and Booker prize book. It is quietly unassuming and yet provocative in its message and prose.

But the problem I had is that Stevens is about as interesting as wet paint. He is so focused one the aspect of his life that he is literally only that. Not to say that he made the story bad, I get why, but it was hard to keep reading. Honestly, my favorite character was the Frenchman Dupont.
