From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day comes a devastating new novel of innocence, knowledge, and loss. As children Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school secluded in the English countryside. It was a place of mercurial cliques and mysterious rules where teachers were constantly reminding their charges of how special they were.
Now, years later, Kathy is a young woman. Ruth and Tommy have reentered her life. And for the first time she is beginning to look back at their shared past and understand just what it is that makes them special–and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together. Suspenseful, moving, beautifully atmospheric, Never Let Me Go is another classic by the author of The Remains of the Day

Personally I love this book. What I'm not comfortable with is the description given in the rating. Instead of judgemental phrase like '推荐', I prefer something more personal like 'like it' or 'love it'. Now comes to the book. I have to admit, at first I ...

真的，我们international students真的很像Hailsham students。No matter how hard you try, you are still different forever.

最近睇翻，覺得都係三星就夠，第一長氣，第二其實好正，對克隆倫理入面兩難境地嘅描寫真係幾到肉，但點解呢，點解去到結尾整句咁蠢頓嘅“我們彼此鐘愛一生但誰也不能永遠陪伴誰”行貨出來水人罷就，蛇尾收科又冇虎頭，都係火候唔夠。

如此狗血的三角爱情故事，还把大设定做成小格局而几乎完全回避这个科幻议题中的伦理与政治反抗逻辑，居然还能用貌似如此简单的prose写得如此娓娓道来细腻动人，只能说不管是否认为石黑一雄就是个小清新，这种天生的“作家”天赋还是太厉害了。

石黑的观世视角和我还挺像，但我和他作品的共鸣却仅限特殊情绪状态。合上书，回忆书籍内容就像在回忆我儿时设想的某种风景，一种隔着两层间隔的深厚朦胧，夹杂着宛如黑夜白灯般明晃晃的熟悉感。可一打开书，所有情感都荡然无存，终究是站在窗口看风景，行人往来与我无关。

读的石黑一雄的第二本书，花了一个多星期读完，文字不算难懂，我个人感觉石黑一雄作品比较吸引我的在于他对记忆的书写，记忆在叙述者的书写中一层层拨开，然而记忆又是最具有迷惑性和可被修改的，整体就会觉得叙述仿佛被裹在一层浓雾之中，看不到叙述的真相究竟是什么，读者和人物之间一直有一个屏障，让人看得不真切。除此以外，刚开始看其实是带着看后人类主题/克隆人这样宏大的故事背景来考量的，没想到会如此聚焦于个体和克隆... 读的石黑一雄的第二本书，花了一个多星期读完，文字不算难懂，我个人感觉石黑一雄作品比较吸引我的在于他对记忆的书写，记忆在叙述者的书写中一层层拨开，然而记忆又是最具有迷惑性和可被修改的，整体就会觉得叙述仿佛被裹在一层浓雾之中，看不到叙述的真相究竟是什么，读者和人物之间一直有一个屏障，让人看得不真切。除此以外，刚开始看其实是带着看后人类主题/克隆人这样宏大的故事背景来考量的，没想到会如此聚焦于个体和克隆人内部，没有去着墨很多在人与后人类之间的二元对立和抗争，一切的发生仿佛就是默默等待自己的归属和命运的到来。个人感觉石黑一雄实质上是借着克隆人/科技的外皮，去探讨所有人类必须面临的一个永恒话题，就是身份认同和焦虑。他自己在采访中事实上也说了这点，关于人在世界中对自己的定位和身份追寻。 (展开)
