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 922 Views
Me type fast... me not read what I type. *NM* Jacob - 18/10/2010 06:11:19 PM 392 Views
I have just discovered that I loaned the book to someone recently as well. Rebekah - 18/10/2010 06:27:52 PM 877 Views
Bummer! Jacob - 18/10/2010 06:32:43 PM 939 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 879 Views
Are we talking the fact that they were clones? Chas - 18/10/2010 10:39:25 PM 1025 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 980 Views
I say that now, but that's after I was spoiled. Chas - 19/10/2010 01:29:29 PM 929 Views
I can understand that. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:35:41 PM 870 Views
I figured it out almost straight away. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:33:17 PM 924 Views
Re: What was the other book? Danae al'Thor - 03/11/2010 09:35:01 PM 1065 Views
It was called Spares. Rebekah - 03/11/2010 09:58:02 PM 1012 Views
Re: It might be YA literature. Danae al'Thor - 03/11/2010 10:00:50 PM 898 Views
I had it mentioned to me before I started reading Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:24:14 PM 1010 Views
What did you think of the characters? Legolas - 18/10/2010 06:43:22 PM 967 Views
Ruth was a bitch and other quick summations. Chas - 18/10/2010 10:34:17 PM 859 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 999 Views
Must revise that feeling now. Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:52:25 PM 877 Views

Ruth is Evil Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:08:47 PM 1040 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 398 Views
And I'm officially overusing the phrase "what did you think". *NM* Legolas - 18/10/2010 11:14:15 PM 402 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 978 Views
Love it. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:36:26 PM 927 Views
I liked it (with some exceptions) thebestrob - 20/10/2010 09:55:26 AM 1083 Views
I thought of The Island, too - same premise, very different approach. Legolas - 20/10/2010 04:42:48 PM 1000 Views
Re: I liked it (with some exceptions) Rebekah - 22/10/2010 11:29:36 AM 1008 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 987 Views
Did you just compare Robert Jordan's writing style favourably to Ishiguro's? Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:20:46 PM 923 Views
LOVED. Jessie - 16/11/2010 03:52:09 AM 803 Views
By all means, then... Jacob - 16/11/2010 02:44:24 PM 756 Views

What do you think of the idea of growing cloned humans for donations? Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:53:25 PM 872 Views
Uncomfortable is putting it mildly. Legolas - 03/11/2010 10:12:43 PM 992 Views

Miss Lucy, Miss Emily and Madame. Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:56:27 PM 906 Views
You kind of have to wonder how they sleep at night. Legolas - 03/11/2010 10:17:36 PM 1025 Views
Yeah. Rebekah - 05/11/2010 07:39:22 PM 956 Views
