Might as well start with this - what did you think of Ishiguro's subtle treatment of the key issue? Legolas Send a noteboard - 18/10/2010 06:34:58 PM
Did you figure out early on what was going on? And if not, were your guesses far off? What were your feelings when you finally discovered what it was all about? Did you like being kept in the dark for so long?

The book, not the novel? Camilla - 18/10/2010 06:07:08 PM 827 Views
Me type fast... me not read what I type. *NM* Jacob - 18/10/2010 06:11:19 PM 353 Views

Are we talking the fact that they were clones? Chas - 18/10/2010 10:39:25 PM 935 Views
I may not be all that good in figuring such things out, but it wasn't so evident to me at all. Legolas - 18/10/2010 11:06:00 PM 879 Views
I say that now, but that's after I was spoiled. Chas - 19/10/2010 01:29:29 PM 819 Views
I can understand that. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:35:41 PM 764 Views
I figured it out almost straight away. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:33:17 PM 838 Views

It was called Spares. Rebekah - 03/11/2010 09:58:02 PM 906 Views
Re: It might be YA literature. Danae al'Thor - 03/11/2010 10:00:50 PM 814 Views
I had it mentioned to me before I started reading Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:24:14 PM 884 Views
What did you think of the characters? Legolas - 18/10/2010 06:43:22 PM 854 Views
Ruth was a bitch and other quick summations. Chas - 18/10/2010 10:34:17 PM 774 Views
I find it difficult to sympathise with these characters and I wonder whether that's deliberate. Rebekah - 26/10/2010 03:56:34 PM 910 Views
Must revise that feeling now. Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:52:25 PM 788 Views

Since Chas is making me wonder... What did you think of the book? Like it, love it, hate it? *NM* Legolas - 18/10/2010 11:13:55 PM 359 Views
And I'm officially overusing the phrase "what did you think". *NM* Legolas - 18/10/2010 11:14:15 PM 368 Views
Crap. I hope I didn't come across as too negative, because I loved the book. Chas - 19/10/2010 01:33:57 PM 897 Views
Love it. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:36:26 PM 802 Views
I liked it (with some exceptions) thebestrob - 20/10/2010 09:55:26 AM 973 Views
I thought of The Island, too - same premise, very different approach. Legolas - 20/10/2010 04:42:48 PM 895 Views

Right. A better answer, now that I've got the book and have refreshed my memory. Rebekah - 26/10/2010 03:53:58 PM 870 Views
Did you just compare Robert Jordan's writing style favourably to Ishiguro's? Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:20:46 PM 834 Views
LOVED. Jessie - 16/11/2010 03:52:09 AM 711 Views

What do you think of the idea of growing cloned humans for donations? Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:53:25 PM 779 Views
Uncomfortable is putting it mildly. Legolas - 03/11/2010 10:12:43 PM 907 Views

Miss Lucy, Miss Emily and Madame. Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:56:27 PM 815 Views
You kind of have to wonder how they sleep at night. Legolas - 03/11/2010 10:17:36 PM 919 Views
