Good book. It's strength is it's depiction of young life in a school environment. Ishiguro really is exceptional at evoking a character's reality. It transported me. Regarding all the sci-fi dystopian stuff, I think he did a good job. It was beautifully handled. A bit bleak, but then so was Remains of the Day and Artist of the Floating World. Ultimately, Ishiguro is a brilliant writer, and he showcases his ability in this book. I enjoyed it. Recommended. The sci-fi element is incidental.
