I read the book Never Let Me Go which was first published in 2005. It was written by Kazuo Ishiguro, a British author of Japanese descent. The story describes a dystopian world where clones have been created to cure incurable diseases. The construction of the story takes place in three acts. The first tells us about the childhood of our characters (Hailsham), the second about their adolescence and their early adulthood (cottages) and the last about their gifts. The clones were made from normal people, but they grew up in institutions with other clones and when they reached adulthood, they began donating their vital organs. After World War II, people began experimenting with clones, and within a few years, medical science took a big step forward and clones were no longer an idea but a reality. The setting of this story is when clones had been around for a while or in the 80s. The narrator, who also happens to be the protagonist, reviews his life and remembers his lost friends. She tells us about her life, what it was like to be a student at Hailsham. The little incidents, her relationships, what it was like leaving Hailsham, the cottages, what it was like being a carer and basically everything until she became a donor herself. Technically the time limit is only about a day, but it spans his entire life so far. The story the protagonist tells us takes place in Hailsham, the “school” or institution in which he grew up. Cottages and the English countryside. The most disturbing thing about this story is the extent to which society accepts it. People think it's okay for clones to die so they can use their organs when theirs start malfunctioning. And when they're reminded that the clones are... middle of paper... kind of depressing and sad, but in between there's some sort of comic relief but then it gets sad again. I thought this novel was brilliantly written. All the relationships are so real and you can relate to almost every character. I liked the way the story was told. It was like listening to someone tell a story and you knew from the beginning how it would end, so it was no reason to stress. It made me laugh but it also made me really angry. I was so angry at Ruth, at Hailsham and society as a whole for doing this to the clones. Clones aren't just clones, they are people with feelings and soles, and society should have stopped breeding them as soon as they found out. I almost lost all faith in humankind, and if that was the author's intention, he understood it. But what I really think is that he was trying to point out to us how selfish and ungrateful we are..
