Freshly Brewed Book Reviews

The freshest book reviews from an avid bibliophile.


Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

Loved this book. Beautiful story, beautiful writing, beautiful execution of a book. While this novel would probably have taken me a day or less to read on a weekend, I took it with me for company on my train commutes, to brighten my day. Reading it was like drinking a cup of tea or coffee that you want to enjoy for as long as possible. Perfectly lovely, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a gorgeous read.

Additional note about the film: while I definitely preferred the book, I thought that the movie captured the feeling of the novel quite well, despite making it a tad too romantic for my taste. It was excellently cast, and I would watch it again, despite its differences from the book.
