From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human.

Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it.

Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it’s only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.

Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.

读后感

石黑一雄也是看以前恺蒂的介绍，说起来就是他文笔如何如何好，这次读这本小说其实才是第一次看他的一整部作品。果然文笔细腻，文字间有一种洁净感。有种说法叫做“精神上的洁癖”，我怀疑作者就是这类人。 看他写露丝就知道了。在整个故事所笼罩的黑色气氛中，揭示人性弱点和自...  

a delicately woven story you never imagine the British japanese to be writing science fiction. But go on reading and u find he's still the writer of "remains of the day." He puts such emotions into his characters: futility, desperation, tender love leading ...  

1.感觉本书内敛的笔调并不很适合克隆人这么一种激进的伦理题材。 2.虽然也是五星之选，但相比于《疾病解说者》还是有所差距。 3.编辑的功课不够到位。纵然不是推理小说，封面封底简介译序中无处不在的泄底依然十分可恨。和《捕蜂机》可谓难兄难弟。 4.装祯好难看。尤其封底介绍...  

用户评价

读的我很痛苦

impressive and powerful

滿懷期待當自己合上這本書的時候會淚流滿面，而事實卻是被瘧的說不出話也哭不出來。之前忍不住去看預告的時候很沒出息地被一個鏡頭弄的鼻子發酸，眼睛全濕了。石黒一雄用他一貫很平淡的筆調一點點揭開真相，沒有一絲煽情。書中第一人稱的kathy回憶着自己的童年，朋友以及最後的愛，她講述地太過於平靜，好像那些事情根本就沒有那麼殘酷冰冷。這本書後勁很足，開始時會覺得有些無聊瑣碎但讀完后會忍不住再翻到前面看看，腦子裡面想的全是他們的事。看得胸悶到極點但是發泄不出來，他們的人生是制定好的，必須這麼走下去，沒有任何改變的餘地。得知真相后的他們沒有反抗也沒有逃離而是默默地接受，儘管是如此不甘心； 最後的道別平淡地讓人心碎。They won't see you as a human even you have soul

这本口碑爆棚的书讲述了一个完全没有逻辑的所谓浪漫的爱情故事。设定主角为克隆人可能是为了赚取眼泪，我一点没听出伤感来。故事进展拖沓不堪，腻腻乎乎。而且整个故事建立在癌症可以用器官移植的方法解决真是让人不能忍啊！就有声书来说趣味性1分，难度2.5分。

都那么喜欢剧和电影了，没想到还会更喜欢原作。不落言筌，最是伤人不见血…。另外感慨森下佳子这位“改编家”…变换视角的重塑力，让原作党也不得不佩服一二…将Kathy拆分成恭子和真实，极端隐忍与彻底顽抗，才得以完成两处高潮；坏处是性格缺陷太过赤裸，难免牵强；原著三人情感脉络就相当流畅。Why Hailsham at all？既然已有克隆人，又如何会有答案。
