Rdrama Bookclub Discussion Thread #21 . Never Let Me Go (Chapters XVI-XIX)

I'm still halfway through it, so quite behind the final chapters, but something bothering me is the fact none of the main characters seem to question how cruel is the whole “donations” they're been put over. They accept it as a fact of life like almost like cattle entering a slaughterhouse. Still I'm enjoying the coming of age bits, Ms. Lucy freaking out about donations seemed to speak for what the reader is thinking.

Darn, I can't say I ever really took note of the prose before, but that final paragraph went hard.

I still think all of the clone characters were a bit too neurotic, even if justified, to be likable. So much of the book is just, "we 'ad a roight big row last night but now wes talking and it's like neither of us is bringing it up pretending it didn't happen innit." I get the intention, but it was a bit much.

And how about that confrontation with Miss Emily? I think he did a brilliant job with that chapter. Really had me going back and forth between thinking she was a total c*nt and thinking that she was absolutely right.
