Ruth was a bitch and other quick summations. Chas Send a noteboard - 18/10/2010 10:34:17 PM
Really, really didn't like her through most of it.

Initial response to Kathy (and it continued through) was why so passive.

Tommy was very much an afterthought to me until well into the book. A bit meh.

The book, not the novel? Camilla - 18/10/2010 06:07:08 PM 844 Views
Me type fast... me not read what I type. *NM* Jacob - 18/10/2010 06:11:19 PM 358 Views
I have just discovered that I loaned the book to someone recently as well. Rebekah - 18/10/2010 06:27:52 PM 789 Views
Bummer! Jacob - 18/10/2010 06:32:43 PM 862 Views
Might as well start with this - what did you think of Ishiguro's subtle treatment of the key issue? Legolas - 18/10/2010 06:34:58 PM 807 Views
Are we talking the fact that they were clones? Chas - 18/10/2010 10:39:25 PM 949 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 894 Views
I say that now, but that's after I was spoiled. Chas - 19/10/2010 01:29:29 PM 830 Views
I can understand that. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:35:41 PM 781 Views
I figured it out almost straight away. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:33:17 PM 857 Views
Re: What was the other book? Danae al'Thor - 03/11/2010 09:35:01 PM 990 Views
It was called Spares. Rebekah - 03/11/2010 09:58:02 PM 923 Views
Re: It might be YA literature. Danae al'Thor - 03/11/2010 10:00:50 PM 833 Views
I had it mentioned to me before I started reading Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:24:14 PM 899 Views
What did you think of the characters? Legolas - 18/10/2010 06:43:22 PM 869 Views
Ruth was a bitch and other quick summations. Chas - 18/10/2010 10:34:17 PM 789 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 930 Views
Must revise that feeling now. Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:52:25 PM 802 Views

Ruth is Evil Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:08:47 PM 949 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 365 Views
And I'm officially overusing the phrase "what did you think". *NM* Legolas - 18/10/2010 11:14:15 PM 375 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 910 Views
Love it. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:36:26 PM 817 Views
I liked it (with some exceptions) thebestrob - 20/10/2010 09:55:26 AM 989 Views
I thought of The Island, too - same premise, very different approach. Legolas - 20/10/2010 04:42:48 PM 911 Views
Re: I liked it (with some exceptions) Rebekah - 22/10/2010 11:29:36 AM 934 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 891 Views
Did you just compare Robert Jordan's writing style favourably to Ishiguro's? Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:20:46 PM 849 Views
LOVED. Jessie - 16/11/2010 03:52:09 AM 724 Views
By all means, then... Jacob - 16/11/2010 02:44:24 PM 687 Views

What do you think of the idea of growing cloned humans for donations? Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:53:25 PM 795 Views
Uncomfortable is putting it mildly. Legolas - 03/11/2010 10:12:43 PM 922 Views
Re: Uncomfortable is putting it mildly. Rebekah - 05/11/2010 07:36:04 PM 848 Views

Miss Lucy, Miss Emily and Madame. Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:56:27 PM 830 Views
You kind of have to wonder how they sleep at night. Legolas - 03/11/2010 10:17:36 PM 933 Views
Yeah. Rebekah - 05/11/2010 07:39:22 PM 881 Views
