My oldest daughter has been after me to read this book (and series) for.....a long time. Time for dad to step up and make his little girl happy.

Another book I was inspired to read after seeing the author at TX Book Fest.

5 women are cloned after being murdered by a serial killer. This is from the point of view of Louis, who was killed while running in her city‘s park.

An interesting aspect was that Louis had a daughter who was just 3 months old when she was killed, and her clone‘s relationship with her daughter.

The ending was unexpected for me, in a good way.

It was good. I read it pretty quick. Wish the ending was a little better but I did enjoy it.

I watched the film before reading this which I think took a little of the surprise out, but it was still a thoroughly enjoyable read, and I think I wanted to rocket through the big reveal despite knowing what it was anyway. This books takes place in an alternative past in 90s England and follows special school children as they grow in to adulthood and learn about their future ‘donations‘. (Cont. in comments 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻)

i.z.booknook (1) The book is largely about friends and internal politics and emotions and love and I‘ve seen some criticism from those who read this book because it is classified as science-fiction and it is very subtly science-fiction, however, I think that was the point. The inner lives of these characters is what proves the point of the book. 10mo
i.z.booknook (2)I thought it was very cleverly told, the narration is good because you see the distinctive thoughts of childhood and it includes hints at unreliable memories and recollections and the possibility for different interpretations around the subject; a true exploration of humanity. It was my first Ishiguro and I thought it was great. 10mo

The author truly makes the reader feel what the characters feel (even that which is not said out aloud). I would really recommend this short but powerful read!
