Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

Never Let Me Go

This was a book that I never would have read had it not been a book club book. Firstly, it's science fiction and I didn't realize it until half way through the book. The people in the book are different from other people, but you don't realize how or why until the second half. 

It's set in England in the 1990s and centered around what appears to be a normal boarding school until one of the teachers lets slip that there's really no point in educating the students in the school. When the teacher suddenly no longer works there, the students become suspicious and wonder what is different about themselves and their school.

I can't tell you any more without spoiling the plot. It's one of those science fiction books that you wonder if it could come true one day. After I read the book I watched the movie and found it very true to the book, but still just as haunting.

Here's the movie:
