Title: Very Disappointing
Review: I was very much looking forward to reading this book, so I was very disappointed in the novel. I found the characters flat and the story predictable. It amazes me that it was nominated for a Man Booker Prize. Every year, I read the winner of this prestigious award, as well as most of the short-listed books. Although some of the books are not as interesting to me as others, they are at least well-crafted and beautifully written. I cannot imagine why this book was chosen. If Ishiguro was trying to be bland in order to mirror the lives of the characters, it was a stylistic mistake.
