Crap. I hope I didn't come across as too negative, because I loved the book. Chas Send a noteboard - 19/10/2010 01:33:57 PM
It was beautiful. The slow unraveling of everything as Kathy teased out the details, the growing sense of dread as you realize exactly what is going on and then the horrifying truth followed the sad resignation that this is their life.


Ruth was still a bitch though.

The book, not the novel? Camilla - 18/10/2010 06:07:08 PM 941 Views
Me type fast... me not read what I type. *NM* Jacob - 18/10/2010 06:11:19 PM 400 Views
I have just discovered that I loaned the book to someone recently as well. Rebekah - 18/10/2010 06:27:52 PM 895 Views
Bummer! Jacob - 18/10/2010 06:32:43 PM 959 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 897 Views
Are we talking the fact that they were clones? Chas - 18/10/2010 10:39:25 PM 1044 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 999 Views
I say that now, but that's after I was spoiled. Chas - 19/10/2010 01:29:29 PM 944 Views
I can understand that. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:35:41 PM 898 Views
I figured it out almost straight away. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:33:17 PM 940 Views
Re: What was the other book? Danae al'Thor - 03/11/2010 09:35:01 PM 1084 Views
It was called Spares. Rebekah - 03/11/2010 09:58:02 PM 1038 Views
Re: It might be YA literature. Danae al'Thor - 03/11/2010 10:00:50 PM 922 Views
I had it mentioned to me before I started reading Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:24:14 PM 1025 Views
What did you think of the characters? Legolas - 18/10/2010 06:43:22 PM 989 Views
Ruth was a bitch and other quick summations. Chas - 18/10/2010 10:34:17 PM 877 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 1018 Views
Must revise that feeling now. Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:52:25 PM 894 Views

Ruth is Evil Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:08:47 PM 1064 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 404 Views
And I'm officially overusing the phrase "what did you think". *NM* Legolas - 18/10/2010 11:14:15 PM 411 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 1005 Views

I liked it (with some exceptions) thebestrob - 20/10/2010 09:55:26 AM 1103 Views
I thought of The Island, too - same premise, very different approach. Legolas - 20/10/2010 04:42:48 PM 1023 Views
Re: I liked it (with some exceptions) Rebekah - 22/10/2010 11:29:36 AM 1029 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 1003 Views
Did you just compare Robert Jordan's writing style favourably to Ishiguro's? Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:20:46 PM 940 Views
LOVED. Jessie - 16/11/2010 03:52:09 AM 822 Views

What do you think of the idea of growing cloned humans for donations? Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:53:25 PM 890 Views

Miss Lucy, Miss Emily and Madame. Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:56:27 PM 922 Views
You kind of have to wonder how they sleep at night. Legolas - 03/11/2010 10:17:36 PM 1048 Views
