Never Let Me Go

Perfect. I said what I said. Every choice the author makes is the right one. Every page earns its place. I'll reread this annually.

Changed how I think about what fiction can do. I'll be recommending this to everyone I meet for the foreseeable future. An absolute masterpiece.

Reads like the author had a genuinely great idea and then wasn't quite sure how to end it. The journey is worth it even if the destination disappoints slightly.

A solid, enjoyable read that doesn't overstay its welcome. Won't change your life but will pass a long flight very pleasantly. Exactly what it says on the tin.

This book broke me and then put me back together better. I don't say that lightly. It's the kind of thing you read once and carry with you forever.

Rare reading experience: I felt moved, challenged, entertained, and expanded. The world it builds is extraordinary; the people in that world are even better.
