    Just finished this book last night, staying up way past my bedtime because I couldn't put it down, and now I am haunted. A beautifully written, thought-provoking meditation on the clash between humanity and technology and on a society that can place relative values on individual lives. I am now anxious to read Ishiguro's earlier novels.

    I'm still surprised at how some people are not touched by this book. They either didn't read the whole book or were just too careless reading it. Either way- their loss.
    Because every little thing that happens has a meaning in this book. And i'm serious. I've never had so much emotions about a book. The book is all about emotions. Simply love it. Anyone who didn't like it- read it again or quit reading. Because it's the masterpiece of masterpieces. Favoriting this book is a must. And it's not a matter of taste. You must like it or simply stop reading literature. Period.
    ;)

    Being part of the natural world reminds me that innocence isn't ever lost completely; we just need to maintain our goodness to regain it.

    I read it for an English class and I just loved it. Guess I wasn't expecting much from it... but I found it gripping. The ending is so sad. It definitely makes you think about love, friendship, identity, growing up... about life.

    What frustrated me was how slowly Ishiguro unfolded everything ... how long it took before you figured out why all these kids are at this school, and why everything is just a bit off ... I guess I don't like feeling "out of the loop," like the characters know something I don't :) Actually, mostly I'm just jealous, because that slow unfolding is part of what makes this book so artful ...

    This book is so haunting, moving because the characters are all too human.It becomes a struggle for the characters knowing the true purpose of their being.

    I want to create a short film inspired by this novel. What section or chapter of the book do you think would translate the best into a short film. If I had the budget or resources, I would make a feature about the whole novel, but I'd like to start with at least a short from it.
