Helpful Score: 3

If you love alternate reality fiction as well as well-developed characters and storylines, this book delivers!

I've always loved Ishiguro and his superb writing style. He intricately weaves the stories of his three main characters against the backdrop of an English boarding school where the students are extremely sheltered and have little knowledge of the outside world, until they find their purpose in life. These children have an inescapable and horrific destiny. However, even as they learn the truth of their future, Ishiguro enchants us with their fiendship, love, and passion for life. We learn to become invested in his characters as their losses are our own, especially as we reach the sad, but touching conclusion.
