Might as well start with this - what did you think of Ishiguro's subtle treatment of the key issue? Legolas Send a noteboard - 18/10/2010 06:34:58 PM
Did you figure out early on what was going on? And if not, were your guesses far off? What were your feelings when you finally discovered what it was all about? Did you like being kept in the dark for so long?

Me type fast... me not read what I type. *NM* Jacob - 18/10/2010 06:11:19 PM 450 Views
I have just discovered that I loaned the book to someone recently as well. Rebekah - 18/10/2010 06:27:52 PM 1007 Views

Are we talking the fact that they were clones? Chas - 18/10/2010 10:39:25 PM 1156 Views
I may not be all that good in figuring such things out, but it wasn't so evident to me at all. Legolas - 18/10/2010 11:06:00 PM 1113 Views
I say that now, but that's after I was spoiled. Chas - 19/10/2010 01:29:29 PM 1075 Views
I can understand that. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:35:41 PM 1016 Views
I figured it out almost straight away. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:33:17 PM 1067 Views
Re: What was the other book? Danae al'Thor - 03/11/2010 09:35:01 PM 1184 Views
It was called Spares. Rebekah - 03/11/2010 09:58:02 PM 1152 Views
Re: It might be YA literature. Danae al'Thor - 03/11/2010 10:00:50 PM 1033 Views
I had it mentioned to me before I started reading Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:24:14 PM 1137 Views
What did you think of the characters? Legolas - 18/10/2010 06:43:22 PM 1094 Views
Ruth was a bitch and other quick summations. Chas - 18/10/2010 10:34:17 PM 981 Views
I find it difficult to sympathise with these characters and I wonder whether that's deliberate. Rebekah - 26/10/2010 03:56:34 PM 1152 Views
Must revise that feeling now. Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:52:25 PM 1009 Views

Since Chas is making me wonder... What did you think of the book? Like it, love it, hate it? *NM* Legolas - 18/10/2010 11:13:55 PM 468 Views
And I'm officially overusing the phrase "what did you think". *NM* Legolas - 18/10/2010 11:14:15 PM 459 Views
Crap. I hope I didn't come across as too negative, because I loved the book. Chas - 19/10/2010 01:33:57 PM 1140 Views
Love it. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:36:26 PM 1051 Views
I liked it (with some exceptions) thebestrob - 20/10/2010 09:55:26 AM 1205 Views
I thought of The Island, too - same premise, very different approach. Legolas - 20/10/2010 04:42:48 PM 1143 Views

Right. A better answer, now that I've got the book and have refreshed my memory. Rebekah - 26/10/2010 03:53:58 PM 1116 Views
Did you just compare Robert Jordan's writing style favourably to Ishiguro's? Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:20:46 PM 1050 Views
LOVED. Jessie - 16/11/2010 03:52:09 AM 927 Views

You kind of have to wonder how they sleep at night. Legolas - 03/11/2010 10:17:36 PM 1163 Views
