It was called Spares. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 03/11/2010 09:58:02 PM
Not anywhere near as subtle, beautiful or haunting, of course.

I am slightly perplexed by the rating.

The book, not the novel? Camilla - 18/10/2010 06:07:08 PM 744 Views
Me type fast... me not read what I type. *NM* Jacob - 18/10/2010 06:11:19 PM 320 Views
I have just discovered that I loaned the book to someone recently as well. Rebekah - 18/10/2010 06:27:52 PM 702 Views
Bummer! Jacob - 18/10/2010 06:32:43 PM 779 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 720 Views
Are we talking the fact that they were clones? Chas - 18/10/2010 10:39:25 PM 851 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 811 Views
I say that now, but that's after I was spoiled. Chas - 19/10/2010 01:29:29 PM 744 Views
I can understand that. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:35:41 PM 692 Views
I figured it out almost straight away. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:33:17 PM 760 Views

Re: It might be YA literature. Danae al'Thor - 03/11/2010 10:00:50 PM 737 Views
I had it mentioned to me before I started reading Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:24:14 PM 813 Views
What did you think of the characters? Legolas - 18/10/2010 06:43:22 PM 775 Views
Ruth was a bitch and other quick summations. Chas - 18/10/2010 10:34:17 PM 705 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 825 Views
Must revise that feeling now. Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:52:25 PM 714 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 330 Views
And I'm officially overusing the phrase "what did you think". *NM* Legolas - 18/10/2010 11:14:15 PM 343 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 823 Views
Love it. Rebekah - 19/10/2010 01:36:26 PM 721 Views
I liked it (with some exceptions) thebestrob - 20/10/2010 09:55:26 AM 902 Views
I thought of The Island, too - same premise, very different approach. Legolas - 20/10/2010 04:42:48 PM 817 Views
Re: I liked it (with some exceptions) Rebekah - 22/10/2010 11:29:36 AM 849 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 793 Views
Did you just compare Robert Jordan's writing style favourably to Ishiguro's? Camilla - 02/03/2011 11:20:46 PM 762 Views
LOVED. Jessie - 16/11/2010 03:52:09 AM 644 Views
By all means, then... Jacob - 16/11/2010 02:44:24 PM 599 Views

What do you think of the idea of growing cloned humans for donations? Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:53:25 PM 719 Views
Uncomfortable is putting it mildly. Legolas - 03/11/2010 10:12:43 PM 817 Views

Miss Lucy, Miss Emily and Madame. Rebekah - 31/10/2010 02:56:27 PM 742 Views
You kind of have to wonder how they sleep at night. Legolas - 03/11/2010 10:17:36 PM 840 Views
Yeah. Rebekah - 05/11/2010 07:39:22 PM 784 Views
