Title: DISTURBING SUBJECT
Review: Ishiguro's work THE REMAINS OF THE DAY is a study in self-repression and lives of quiet desperation. NEVER LET ME GO can be equally disturbing as it unfolds to reveal a controversial subject matter. The story is narrated by a human clone and is a sort of autobiography, wherein the clone relates her story and that of the other clones she grew up with. Their reason for existence is to be organ donors to the final 'completion', the last donation and final total harvesting. The book is told in flashbacks starting with the clone friends at grammar school in a private boarding school and coming through adulthood and end of life for some. The entire story is from the clone's point of view, and many questions regarding ethics and morality are posed. This book is a good choice for any book club seeking lively debate.
