Okay so I've just finished the book "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro. I'm going to rate it a...5 out of 10? Not the greatest book, but still, it made you think. The story was told by a character named Kathy, who grew up attending a small school in England. The school isn't like every other school though, things are much different. Turns out, these kids are actually CLONES that were made for the sole purpose of eventually donating their body parts and then "completing" or dying. Pretty intense plot... but I feel like their was such emotional indifference from the narrator so it was hard to connect with any of the characters or what was going on in the story. I found it difficult to get through because I never really got into the book. I don't know that I'd recommend it... but like I said, the plot was very interesting and it really made you think about ethics, the future of medical technology, and things like this. I think there's supposed to be a movie made about it... I hope it's better than the book. It just needs some spice!
And nowwww for the awesome part. Today the book Mockingjay came out. It's the third book in the Hunger Games series and I am soooo friggin excited. I'm going to try to pace myself so I don't finish it all tonight.. although that may be hard to do. I'm sure it's going to be great but I'm also saddened that this is the last book in the series (I think... correct me if I'm wrong--please!). I'll be sure and blog about how the book is when I've finished, hopefully that won't be any time too soon, lol.
Loving the Kindle. I'm trying to think of a fantastic name for it.
