This book was a kind of a revelation to me, one of the rare, special books that mysteriously choose you instead of being chosen. And I am not speaking figuratively: some years ago I found a copy abandoned on a bench in my hometown and started reading it even if english is not my native language (as you may guess). The story was intriguing, but at some point I misteriously lost that copy...or maybe the book choosed another reader! Obviously I rushed for another copy at a near english library: I bought it and finally reached the end. I experienced a strange mix of feelings: I was sad, but also feeling purified and peaceful, just like Kathy H, in the end It was like somebody has told me things that I already knew but that I never have been really aware of.
I am reading the book right now and am engrossed. I understand partly what is going on but I am enjoying it for the writing. I am getting the terminology too, gradually, and I think that it is great literature because it is about people rather than great events which are put in motion; about people who have tragic lives and how they live and care and make mistakes. It's essentially - well, in my opinion, of course - a book about the appreciation of life. I love Kazuo Ishiguro, and all his works. Remains of the Day is a favourite, and I am sure this one will be too. I have yet to read The Unconsoled, but I look forward to it.
I watched the movie quite awhile ago didn't even know it was based in a book. I stumbled upon it on tv a few days ago and watched it again and realized I had a few questions. Then I saw in the description it was based on this novel so now I'm currently reading it and loving it so hopefully once I'm done I'll rewatch the movie (for a 3rd time) and everything will be clearer lol
Who likes the last scene of the conversation with Kathy and Tommy? They will never see each other but Tommy told something like a joke and a memory at Hailsham to make Kathy laugh. It might not related to farewell words but somehow that made me so sad. It’s hard to discribe but I even cried. The movie didn’t include that scene and so as little Kathy’s dance! Anyway I love this book so much.
The whole idea of how life is (the characters discovering the truth about their childhood from Madame) being just explained by someone except for being discovered is intentional. The author has done it this way to explain the idea that mortality is inevitable and its not something that you will grow to accept, it is something brutal and honest and in your face and it just is how it is. That's how I interpreted it, at least :)
I found the book slow to start, and almost gave up halfway through. But I pushed through and was totally engrossed by the end. It’s a book that I think about often.
I had to read this book for school like 4 years ago and absolutely hated it, it was very boring. But when I read the last page everything made sense and when I fell asleep after reading the book I kept thinking about the meaning of life. Afterwards when the movie came out I was pretty sad about the story but eventually grew to love this book/movie/story.
I have read and studied this book and I personally did not like it but there were certain things I did like. HOWEVER, it is like Orwell's 1984 it is a "must read" for any bookworm. Furthermore, I also believe that the majority of those that like The Handmaid's Tale are female... I don't know if this says anything about the book but thought you might like to know. :-)
I watched the movie first too and ajnbfqjwenrk, it was so emotional. There was definitely a little bit of tearing up at the end. I read the book after and it was just so emotionally taxing. I personally found it a little slow but the whole story line just really got to me. Sooo good though.
MAJOR SPOILER IN THE BEGINNING, WATCH OUT! The spoiler on 1:08 concerning what they are was absolutely unnecessary, because I've reached the beginning of part 2 of the book and this information wasn't there yet. Yes, we know what they're supposed to do rather early, especially when Miss Lucy freaks out after the kids are talking about going to America, but we don't know yet about their nature, which are two different things.
I watched never let me go because of Andrew garfield... and i thought it was the saddest thing. but, i actually have no idea what i think about that movie and whether or not I wanna read the book..
I've read the book, but I always feel very "attached" so to speak whenever I finish one. But the ending of the book really had be crying, especially how they mention how Tommy completed in like a casual way. And I just think its sad how she had to watch all of her closest friends die in her care. But on another note I wonder about is if she ever made a donation in the first place.
I reckon that you did the right thing as watching the movie version. For me I watched the movie first and then read the book as I tried to read it first up but it was so complex and after watching it first it made me really understand the book with a lot of knowledge. I cried my heart out watching the movie. The value of ones life compared to another it questioned me till this very day. It's an amazing book 8.5/10
It was such a depressing book. I read it every night, and always felt a little bit cold and sad inside before I went to sleep. But very good, very good indeed.
I've read Never Let Me Go with my V5 class last year. They thought it was a strange book, interesting concept (but still STRANGE) and they were wondering all the time how on earth a writer could come up with this concept. This year we're reading Brave New World and I think it has nice similar ideas, however worked out differently of course. Have you read Brave New World?
I must be a substantially different person than most of the commenters, because while there was no question that characters were well formed and prose accomplished, the subtle and infrequent hints of what was to come did little to maintain my interest. In the end, not enough had happened at the midpoint, so I shut it down. Life's too short.
I can't wait to hear what you think of The Casual Vacancy. I'm about a third of the way through, but I just don't find it so engrossing that I find myself picking it up in every spare moment.
I watched the film first too and really enjoyed it. However, the writing style really appealed to me when I did read the book, and I have a hard time deciding which medium I like better. I have the same problem with Atonement--book or film? I think what it comes down to is that there are certain bits of each that I really like. The are parts of the film that better display things than in the book and vice versa. I think, ultimately, what's really important is how the story touched me overall.
I've read Never Let Me Go and I really liked it. It's an interesting concept (even thought it may not be very plausible) and the characters are fairly likeable. I watched the film after I read it and I liked it just as much as the book.
I watched the movie first and even though I loved the novel I liked the movie better. It was easier to relate to the characters in the movie and understand the love they had for each other whereas it wasn't as easy in the book for me. The more I think about it though I think not being able to relate with the characters in the book made them more different and separate to us, distinguishing the line between humans and clones which I believe Ishiguro was trying to do.
The biggest problem with that book you're holding is the cover. Book covers adapted to film promo posters NEVER work. I think they are a disgrace to the integrity of literature. That aside, Never Let Me Go is one of my favourites. But fun review, this one.
I read the book this year and didn't know until afterwards that it was a movie (which I still haven't gotten around to see). I really liked it but it was so sad. The book does have this lovely sense of bitter sweet memory which I really liked :)
We had to read it for our a class at university and it's one of my favourite "obligatory reading" books. I liked that it makes you think about another society and if you would like this "solution". The only thing that bothered me a bit was that they never seem to protest against the harvesting and donating. I would have expected some resistance but it is still a book i highly recommend to other people; along with TFiOS and The World According To Garp
I looked into this book as one of three for a dissertation I wrote, and my thoughts on the ending were pretty similar to yours except I kind of thought it was intentional and kind of cool? Like there's this cliched tradition of the big rumour and the characters finding out about it and seeking out these answers then there's a long exposition and they find out everything they needed to know and... That kind of happens. Except it is immensely unsatisfying, which I think is what happens when you seek out that kind of thing in life. So idk, I liked it. But yes I love this book, people should definitely read it :D
I know this is a really old review but I've only just watched this because I wanted to read the book first! I've finally finished it and posted a review on my channel as well :) I totally agree with you that the characters are seem really real and life-like, if a bit extreme, but then I suppose they are in an extreme situation... For a while I thought it was odd how much they adored Hailsham, but I suppose that made sense when it was their whole world for most of their life. Also, I found the part when Tommy and Ruth watching TV and seeing how to act in the world was reeeeeeeally sad! Thanks for your review :)
There are so many spoilers in this review! I kept watching because I have already read the book, but the fact that they were fostered to donate their organs was such a shocking revelation that to reveal it in this video might lessen the shock factor for those who want to read it in the future.
I read the book first, and I really enjoyed it. I liked how well the sense of hopelessness came across. I felt genuine hurt at the loss of characters. The film was okay but it didn't match up well enough for me. Like it didn't focus that much on Tommy's art attempts, which were so desperate in the book.
I love this book for a lot of the reasons you bring up here. I teach it in my Intro to Fiction class, and every time you brought up a new point in this video, I was like, "Yes! We talk about that in discussion!"
I was like you, i saw the film first and then quite a while later I picked up the book! I LOVED the book SO SO MUCH. A lot. the writing I think, was the best thing about it for me. But only after reading the book did I realise how good the film was. I haven't rewatched the movie yet, but I really want to.
I read the book, and I thought it was just okay. It wasn't that it was badly written or anything - although I did feel that the ending was slightly rushed and a bit anti-climatic. The characters were okay, though I found Kathy annoying at points. I did feel sorry for her at other points, but overall, I didn't feel any attachment to her. Maybe I should watch the film or read it again. Not a bad book, but not a particularly great one either.
We were going to study this in our higher lever final year English class, but decided to all read the book first, and all of us but two people hated it with a vengeance. The beginning was fine, but as the book went on I just started to hate it, it's been three years, so I can't remember the reasons, but it's put me off seeing the film despite my love for Carey Mulligan.
I prefer the book soo much more to the film, I thought the film was more depressing and tragic because it didn't focus as much on the childhood memories that weren't connected with the donations which made the book more readable.
Could you elaborate on what was not convincing about how society acts in the book? The human mind works in mysterious and gruesome ways and will do anything once there is a pragmatic advantage. The donations were obviously used by the 'normal people' . The doctors and wardens are like the guards of a concentration camp during World War 2. It is sad but that is the point to stress the power of the conforming and acquiescent society we live and model ourselves by. We are Tommy, We are Ruth and also many of us are the wardens. I just hate when people say oh I have human agency and I do what I wan't when I wan't! No you don't you are controlled by the structures in place by our society and are monitored and judged by our insular yardsticks and values. When you reduce NLMG to science fiction it is sad! but fair play you at least noticed some of the hidden layers and nuances in the book. :)
Both myself and a friend read the book first and were subsequently hugely disappointed by the movie. I am generally an advocate of watch it first but this particular story is just a perfect example. So I think you did things in the right order!
Oh, cool. I've actually never read the book, despite having seen the movie about seven times now, haha, I'm obsessed with the acting and visuals. I've tried to read the book, but every time I did it was too hard to get into his style of writing and I felt like since I basically have the movie memorized, I could see everything that was going to happen coming from miles away. So I've started the book, but never finished. But I might try it again since you recommended it, to accompany the film. :)
I Love that kind of movies, those of independent cinema which have some weird esthetic and inspirational music. I think "never let me go" is one of the most representatives films of this stream. is there someone who could recommend me any of this kind of films? I would really appreciate it!!
All of those treats you mentioned were like my childhood... pop-tarts, fruit roll-ups, fruit by the foot... I need to introduce you to Gushers. If you ever want an American treat I'll ship ya some good ones lol
Wow, that's an interesting (and pretty cool) way of looking at it...I agree that they seemed a bit cold in the book, and that the movie was much more personable. Thanks for putting up your opinion, I think it's helped me understand the difference between two better now, which was bothering me, haha. :)
i'm so excited!!! we're doing this in my english class soon!! i have seen the film like you but have not read it yet.very excited for that and our other book!! :P
I also saw the movie way before even finding a copy of the book :P absolutely loved it. I read the book about a month ago, there were some parts i foumd that didnt make sense but made a bit more because of the movie. You should read Skinny by Ibi Kaslick, its one of my very favourite books. :)
Isn't it strange Feels like I'm lookin' in the mirror What would people say If only they knew that I was Part of some geneticist's plan (plan-plan-plan) Born to be a carbon copy man (man-man-man) There in a petri dish late one night They took a donor's body cell and fertilized a human egg and so I say I think I'm a clone now There's always two of me just a-hangin' around I think I'm a clone now 'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
Thought I'd have me a you marathon whilst my bangbangannotations video uploaded, you have 255 videos. 255. YOU'RE PRACTICALLY A VLOGBROTHER. Also Andrew Garfield is looking at me from the recommended videos. Mmmm... Garfield hair. This comment was insightful. You're welcome.
I would 'Never let you go".... but then that would get uncomfortable and creepy... Come to think about it, that comment is creepy... Oh No! *Falls to knees WHHHYYYY!!!!??????

It was like somebody has told me things that I already knew but that I never have been really aware of.
if u still alive can you tell me the name of the book you're talking about?
@@mt_m1I am still alive😅 and the book is the one the video is talking about: "Never let me go" by Kazuo Ishiguro
I like Ishiguru's seamless journey to and fro in time :)
I am reading the book right now and am engrossed. I understand partly what is going on but I am enjoying it for the writing. I am getting the terminology too, gradually, and I think that it is great literature because it is about people rather than great events which are put in motion; about people who have tragic lives and how they live and care and make mistakes.

Remains of the Day is a favourite, and I am sure this one will be too. I have yet to read The Unconsoled, but I look forward to it.
Started this book yesterday and I don’t know why I’m crying bc basicially the children were raised to die
"I don’t know why I’m crying"
"basicially the children were raised to die"
I mean, you literally answered it. What was the point of that comment?
Ahmed Mohamed maybe you are a clone from somebody outside this world
I watched the movie quite awhile ago didn't even know it was based in a book. I stumbled upon it on tv a few days ago and watched it again and realized I had a few questions. Then I saw in the description it was based on this novel so now I'm currently reading it and loving it so hopefully once I'm done I'll rewatch the movie (for a 3rd time) and everything will be clearer lol
I really didn't like Never Let Me Go...I expected it to be more moving & emotional, but I really wasn't affected by it..
Haha, I also skipped the first page! Now I can finally be satisfied with a proper answer to all my setting time interrogations, thank you!
I haven't, but I have heard a lot about it so I might try to read it!
Who likes the last scene of the conversation with Kathy and Tommy? They will never see each other but Tommy told something like a joke and a memory at Hailsham to make Kathy laugh. It might not related to farewell words but somehow that made me so sad. It’s hard to discribe but I even cried. The movie didn’t include that scene and so as little Kathy’s dance!

Kazuo Ishiguro is an amazing writer. Read his other books - you will not be disappointed!
i've had this book for literally 2 years.. huh. and never thought to read it..
I watched the movie first too and ajnbfqjwenrk, it was so emotional. There was definitely a little bit of tearing up at the end. I read the book after and it was just so emotionally taxing. I personally found it a little slow but the whole story line just really got to me. Sooo good though.
You was so innocent here

Been on my reading list for a while.
I watched never let me go because of Andrew garfield... and i thought it was the saddest thing. but, i actually have no idea what i think about that movie and whether or not I wanna read the book..
Hopefully, the movie's good. Movies tend to change a LOT of things or over-exemplify certain plot points which can kind of ruin it.
omg the movie was AMAZING as well
I've read the book, but I always feel very "attached" so to speak whenever I finish one. But the ending of the book really had be crying, especially how they mention how Tommy completed in like a casual way. And I just think its sad how she had to watch all of her closest friends die in her care. But on another note I wonder about is if she ever made a donation in the first place.
I think she did , in the last chapter she mentions she'll no longer be a carer come the end of the year .
I reckon that you did the right thing as watching the movie version. For me I watched the movie first and then read the book as I tried to read it first up but it was so complex and after watching it first it made me really understand the book with a lot of knowledge.

i'm not a big fan of ishiguro's writing style.. however the plot of the book was reaaally good and fresh
I cannot stand his writing style. I almost had to grit my teeth to get through that book. I hated it lol. Hated it.
It was such a depressing book. I read it every night, and always felt a little bit cold and sad inside before I went to sleep. But very good, very good indeed.

Thanks for your review :)
I read this book because I started to watch this. Stopped it got the book and read it. Now I am done I am back to watch this video!
I watched the film a few months ago and had no idea it was based on a book until now. Looking forward to reading it :)
My dog always come running when I watch your videos, our voices are alike :D
There are so many spoilers in this review! I kept watching because I have already read the book, but the fact that they were fostered to donate their organs was such a shocking revelation that to reveal it in this video might lessen the shock factor for those who want to read it in the future.
I read the book first, and I really enjoyed it. I liked how well the sense of hopelessness came across. I felt genuine hurt at the loss of characters.

I love this book for a lot of the reasons you bring up here. I teach it in my Intro to Fiction class, and every time you brought up a new point in this video, I was like, "Yes! We talk about that in discussion!"
I read that when I was pretty young (12?) and I remember liking it ! I watched the movie too. Loved that.
I was like you, i saw the film first and then quite a while later I picked up the book! I LOVED the book SO SO MUCH. A lot. the writing I think, was the best thing about it for me.

That's really awesome
I got really inspired by your video so I have started posting my book reading videos on RUclips
This is my favourite book of all time, and I knew the entire plot before I read it.Such a great book :)
YAAAAAY I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS ONE :D
We were going to study this in our higher lever final year English class, but decided to all read the book first, and all of us but two people hated it with a vengeance. The beginning was fine, but as the book went on I just started to hate it, it's been three years, so I can't remember the reasons, but it's put me off seeing the film despite my love for Carey Mulligan.
I loveeeeee this book! I'm writing my Extended Essay on it so I am really interested in seeing other people's point of view on it!
I prefer the book soo much more to the film, I thought the film was more depressing and tragic because it didn't focus as much on the childhood memories that weren't connected with the donations which made the book more readable.
I picked up a copy of "Never Let Me Go" from a car-boot sale aaaaages ago! Nice video :)
Could you elaborate on what was not convincing about how society acts in the book? The human mind works in mysterious and gruesome ways and will do anything once there is a pragmatic advantage. The donations were obviously used by the 'normal people' . The doctors and wardens are like the guards of a concentration camp during World War 2. It is sad but that is the point to stress the power of the conforming and acquiescent society we live and model ourselves by. We are Tommy, We are Ruth and also many of us are the wardens. I just hate when people say oh I have human agency and I do what I wan't when I wan't! No you don't you are controlled by the structures in place by our society and are monitored and judged by our insular yardsticks and values. When you reduce NLMG to science fiction it is sad! but fair play you at least noticed some of the hidden layers and nuances in the book. :)
Both myself and a friend read the book first and were subsequently hugely disappointed by the movie. I am generally an advocate of watch it first but this particular story is just a perfect example. So I think you did things in the right order!
I am so mad at myself that I've watched the movie first, but they're still both extremly good :)
I loved the book. I loved it so much, that when I finished I just had to watch the movie. And I hated the movie :( even with Andrew, Kiera and Carey.
Oh, cool. I've actually never read the book, despite having seen the movie about seven times now, haha, I'm obsessed with the acting and visuals. I've tried to read the book, but every time I did it was too hard to get into his style of writing and I felt like since I basically have the movie memorized, I could see everything that was going to happen coming from miles away. So I've started the book, but never finished. But I might try it again since you recommended it, to accompany the film. :)
I'm reading that book right now too!
I loved this book. Sanne have you read The Remains of the Day?
It's one of my favorite books! I've yet to see the movie, but I'm wary to do so because I'm not a fan of Carey Mulligan.
I Love that kind of movies, those of independent cinema which have some weird esthetic and inspirational music. I think "never let me go" is one of the most representatives films of this stream. is there someone who could recommend me any of this kind of films? I would really appreciate it!!
Never Let Me Go!!!! I love this book.
I also watched the movie first, and then I just HAD to read the book!
Enjoyed watching 👍
is it weird that I have already read this book (I'm 13) none of my friends ever read and I have already filled up my bookcase.
no, you'll probably be really in advance for your peers, but at some point in the future you'll probably just stop reading
All of those treats you mentioned were like my childhood... pop-tarts, fruit roll-ups, fruit by the foot... I need to introduce you to Gushers. If you ever want an American treat I'll ship ya some good ones lol
Gorgeous book.
Great review! I need to watch more of your reviews so I will get better on my channel lol.
Wow, that's an interesting (and pretty cool) way of looking at it...I agree that they seemed a bit cold in the book, and that the movie was much more personable. Thanks for putting up your opinion, I think it's helped me understand the difference between two better now, which was bothering me, haha. :)
i'm so excited!!! we're doing this in my english class soon!! i have seen the film like you but have not read it yet.very excited for that and our other book!! :P
Noooo Tim, stop it!
This book was wonderful
I also saw the movie way before even finding a copy of the book :P absolutely loved it. I read the book about a month ago, there were some parts i foumd that didnt make sense but made a bit more because of the movie. You should read Skinny by Ibi Kaslick, its one of my very favourite books. :)
we're reading this for school. score.
you just gave away the whole main plot..
I loved the book but for some reason really disliked the film! I love the main three actors so I was really surprised!
I just didn't get why was there so much fuss and deal about living a little but years more
Sanne! My friend and I love watching your videos! Love, all the way from Australia!
This seems like a really cool book. Great review :)
Saw the movie
How's that heartbreaking.... Humans are doing worse than this with animals... Why's it wrong when it comes to yourself...
Isn't it strange
Feels like I'm lookin' in the mirror
What would people say
If only they knew that I was
Part of some geneticist's plan (plan-plan-plan)
Born to be a carbon copy man (man-man-man)
There in a petri dish late one night
They took a donor's body cell and fertilized a human egg and so I say
I think I'm a clone now
There's always two of me just a-hangin' around
I think I'm a clone now
'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
Thought I'd have me a you marathon whilst my bangbangannotations video uploaded, you have 255 videos. 255. YOU'RE PRACTICALLY A VLOGBROTHER. Also Andrew Garfield is looking at me from the recommended videos. Mmmm... Garfield hair. This comment was insightful. You're welcome.
I have to read that for English honors, so far its really annoying and it's *so* slow, this isn't fun
I hesitate to read this book.... I read Remains of the Day by the same author, yeah, it was pretty awful.
The remains of the day is possibly his best book
I would 'Never let you go".... but then that would get uncomfortable and creepy... Come to think about it, that comment is creepy... Oh No! *Falls to knees WHHHYYYY!!!!??????
Is it that obvious? Jikes. *creeps on to watch British-accent-Sanne videos*
