Ruth was a bitch and other quick summations. Chas Send a noteboard - 18/10/2010 10:34:17 PM
Really, really didn't like her through most of it.

Initial response to Kathy (and it continued through) was why so passive.

Tommy was very much an afterthought to me until well into the book. A bit meh.

The book, not the novel? Camilla - 18/10/2010 06:07:08 PM 824 Views
Me type fast... me not read what I type. *NM* Jacob - 18/10/2010 06:11:19 PM 351 Views
I have just discovered that I loaned the book to someone recently as well. Rebekah - 18/10/2010 06:27:52 PM 768 Views
Bummer! Jacob - 18/10/2010 06:32:43 PM 843 Views
Might as well start with this - what did you think of Ishiguro's subtle treatment of the key issue? Legolas - 18/10/2010 06:34:58 PM 790 Views
Are we talking the fact that they were clones? Chas - 18/10/2010 10:39:25 PM 932 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 875 Views
I say that now, but that's after I was spoiled. Chas - 19/10/2010 01:29:29 PM 817 Views
I can understand that. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:35:41 PM 762 Views
I figured it out almost straight away. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:33:17 PM 836 Views
Re: What was the other book? Danae al'Thor - 03/11/2010 09:35:01 PM 972 Views
It was called Spares. Rebekah - 03/11/2010 09:58:02 PM 903 Views
Re: It might be YA literature. Danae al'Thor - 03/11/2010 10:00:50 PM 811 Views
I had it mentioned to me before I started reading Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:24:14 PM 882 Views
What did you think of the characters? Legolas - 18/10/2010 06:43:22 PM 852 Views
Ruth was a bitch and other quick summations. Chas - 18/10/2010 10:34:17 PM 772 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 909 Views
Must revise that feeling now. Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:52:25 PM 785 Views

Ruth is Evil Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:08:47 PM 931 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 358 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 894 Views
Love it. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:36:26 PM 799 Views
I liked it (with some exceptions) thebestrob - 20/10/2010 09:55:26 AM 971 Views
I thought of The Island, too - same premise, very different approach. Legolas - 20/10/2010 04:42:48 PM 891 Views
Re: I liked it (with some exceptions) Rebekah - 22/10/2010 11:29:36 AM 916 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 869 Views
Did you just compare Robert Jordan's writing style favourably to Ishiguro's? Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:20:46 PM 832 Views
LOVED. Jessie - 16/11/2010 03:52:09 AM 708 Views
By all means, then... Jacob - 16/11/2010 02:44:24 PM 670 Views

What do you think of the idea of growing cloned humans for donations? Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:53:25 PM 777 Views
Uncomfortable is putting it mildly. Legolas - 03/11/2010 10:12:43 PM 903 Views
Re: Uncomfortable is putting it mildly. Rebekah - 05/11/2010 07:36:04 PM 831 Views

Miss Lucy, Miss Emily and Madame. Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:56:27 PM 811 Views
You kind of have to wonder how they sleep at night. Legolas - 03/11/2010 10:17:36 PM 915 Views
Yeah. Rebekah - 05/11/2010 07:39:22 PM 856 Views
