Book Thirteen

This was an interesting book. Selected by Kate, the book was a total bomb at our last Vanaheim book club. I had not finished unfortunately. I loved the book. Kate also loved the book. But others, not so fond.

Never Let Me Go is like the Giver with a little twist of Handmaid's Tale combined with a smidge of Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld. It will be a fantastic movie someday, of this I am sure. Washington Post declares "It is almost literally a novel about humanity: what constitutes it, what it means, how it can be honored or denied." I'm bummed that book club could not delve into this book further as this is exactly the type of book that needs to be discovered, devoured and torn apart with like and unlike minds.

I "completed" this book but did feel complete. May have to read with another book club down the line. Good one, Kate.
