BOOK 253: KLARA AND THE SUN: KAZUO ISHIGURO

From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful that a customer will soon choose her, but when the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change forever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans.

In Klara and the Sun, Kazuo Ishiguro looks at our rapidly changing modern world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: what does it mean to love?

(From Goodreads)

MY VERDICT: I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I was hoping to. I had heard such good things and knew that Kazuo Ishiguro was a well respected writer. I’d also enjoyed all the films I’d seen adapted from his books so dar. The book isn’t bad, its not badly written, the start did draw me in, but then after that I felt a bit flat, there wasn’t a lot of hold my interest and I just wasn’t interested in where it was going to go. And the end is just ok.
