Never Let Me Go

Have any of you read this book? I've recently read it following a review from a film critic who said the book was superior. I am glad I read it instead of going to the cinema.

It's difficult to explain without spoiling it. On one level it's about the relationship between three people who were friends from childhood, and the nievity of youth. On another it's about ethics and what it means to be human.

This is not light escapist reading, but If you fancy something different, emotionally heavy and though provoking, please consider giving this a go.

I thought Never Let me Go was a good book too.

Heartbreaking, frustrating but well written and tackled some difficult issues too. I was bewildered at how accepting the main characters were of their fates: but I suppose most of us just plod along on the path set out for us in society as well.

I haven't manages to watch the film yet; does it bring a different view to it?

I've read this and really enjoyed it. My only problem with it was that I wanted more of it! Grin.
