Finished another one

I have finished Never Let me Go. It was definitely an interesting read. I know what Paige meant now by being surprised by the whole science fiction thing. I could tell from the beginning it wasn't quite normal but the way it was written, it took basically to the end of the book for everything to be revealed. It's this woman telling the story of her life starting at what first appears to be a sort of private school, but you slowly realize there is no mention of parents or a life outside of this establishment and that this is a place they are raising these children for some specific reason. Again, that reason takes a very long time to actually get to. I really liked the way he wrote it, though; he sometimes would go one step forward in the story and then two steps back and then come back to the present and then back and forth again so that very slowly, everything was revealed until we finally realize the kids are clones raised expressly to donate their organs as a way to keep people alive who have fatal diseases like cancer and the like. I was able to sort of guess where it was all going, but it wasn't completely clear until the very end, which I guess is the way really good books are written. Sort of like the Dan Brown books. Just makes you want to keep reading.

I guess I kind of ruined it for those of you who might want to read it, but I recommend it anyway, that is such a small factor of the book really, it's the experience of reading the story that is really enjoyable. I haven't picked out a new book yet, but I plan on looking through Kyle's collection right away to get started on number four of the year. Hope everyone else is having good reading experiences too!
