Publisher's Summary From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human. Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it. Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it's only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is. Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date. ©2005 Kazuo Ishiguro (P)2005 Random House, Inc.

I read the reviews saying "stick with it it gets better ... and it's kinda creepy" well it is impossible to stick with because it is so hopelessly BORING.I think it may have been on the same level as if they just read the phone book to me. Sorry, maybe it does get better at some point but I couldn't get there.
I was thoroughly bored with this book. His writing is eloquent, but uninteresting. I was unable to empathize with the protagonist(s) or get overly excited about the not-that-shocking details regarding their situation. I guess I disagree with those chaps in Stockholm. The whole time I kept thinking, when will it end so I can listen to Weir's new book.
