Never Let Me Go 1

"And anyway, if I'd never started choosing, how would I ever have got close to Ruth and Tommy after all those years." pg. 4
Well, I'm on to book number two. The first major difference I noticed in the book was the point of view. It's first person as compared to third in Brave New World. I think this will provide the readers with more insight to the main character, Kathy H. Ishiguro implements rhetorical questions that lead to the use of flashbacks.  The flashbacks seem to have a nostalgic feel to them; however, I think that certain aspects of them may contain a dark mystery. I don't know why, but I feel like there is something that is being purposely omitted from Kathy's memory of Hailsham. I don't think Hailsham is as perfect as she claims to remember. I was also a little confused by the terminology of "carers" and "donors." Hopefully this will be explained soon. I just hope that this novel isn't as out there as Brave New World was.
