Title: Shanghaied!
Review: A major disappointment -- A fan of Ishiguro's earlier work, I really wanted to like this book and forced myself to plow on through but found so many elements that were outrageously ridiculous (the use of the magnifying glass by the adult Christopher, for example; I found myself laughing out loud!) and unforgiveably irrelevant (the fits of giggling by Christopher and Akira in the ruins) that any loyalty I had developed for these characters in the first half of the book was completely destroyed in the second.
