In case you’re interested, I’ve uploaded below, a trailer of the HK drama series I mentioned above. Have you read both books? What did you think? Did you prefer one more than the other or you enjoyed/disliked both? “Why did we do all of that work in the first place? Why train us, encourage us, make us produce all of that? If we’re just going to give donations anyway, then die, why all those lessons? Why all those books and discussions?” “If you’re to live decent lives, you have to know who you are and what lies ahead of you, every one of you.” I’m glad you watch everything so carefully, Klara.” “Sometimes,’ she said, ‘at special moments like that, people feel a pain alongside their happiness. Isn’t that how it might be, trying to learn Josie’s heart? No matter how long you wandered through those rooms, wouldn’t there always be others you’d not yet entered?” And inside that room, another room still. “But then suppose you stepped into one of those rooms,’ he said, ‘and discovered another room within it. (Or possibly, the only one!)īelow I’ve included some of my favorite quotes from Klara and NLMG. As mentioned above, I might be in the minority. Klara and the Sun is the eighth novel by the Nobel Prize-winning British writer Kazuo Ishiguro, published on 2 March 2021.It is a dystopian science fiction story. Fans of NLMG, please forgive me! When I started Klara and The Sun, I had no expectations, and so was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed Klara as a narrator. Regrettably, I didn’t enjoy NLMG as I wanted to, especially after reading so many positive reviews of it. Here’s my comparison of them (I’ve done it in a table format as for me, personally, I found it easier to compare it this way) and why I preferred ‘Klara and The Sun’ to ‘Never Let Me Go’:

So, after finishing Klara, I went ahead and read ‘Never Let Me Go’ to see what was the hype all about.

And yes, I believe I’m in the minority or possibly the only one in the entire bibliography world 😅 But I wasn’t so surprised because it took me three times to start and finish ‘Never Let Me Go’, while I was drawn to Klara from the start and had no problems finishing it.
