Never Let Me Go
by Kazuo Ishiguro
View in Library Catalog
book cover


4 stars My original rating was to be 3 or 3.5, but the third part of the book saved it for me. Our three main characters (Kathy, Ruth and Tommy) are Hailsham students;grew up there, moved to the cottages and out into the world as either carers or donors. There were certain science fiction elements I quite enjoyed (even though I can agree this is a Lit fic first, than a sci fic) it even reminded me of “The Giver” by Lois Lowry and “The Promised Neverland” by Kaiu Shirai, which made me enjoy this a lot. I will say Ruth pissed me off and I’m glad we stopped hearing much about her towards the end. Kathy was a 70/30 love-hate relationship, and Tommy was so sweet I love him so much. There were confusing parts, part that could’ve been skipped or lightly glossed over. Parts that felt glossed over that should’ve been delved into further, but all and all it was a great book and I will continue to read more of Kazuo Ishiguro’s books.

Tegan and Sara: Junior High SIGNED

As an identical twin, I LOVED this book. I enjoyed how their conversations where actually accurate like normal siblings and they weren't arguing about who was older. Also, I loved how they fought over the guitar in the book because my sister and I share a piano and we fight over it ALL the time. Overall, this book was a quick yet fun read.

The Last Promise

I loved this love story - especially how RP Evans wrote it - placing himself in the story as the listener of the story and afterwards, the writer. What a great concept! And the images of Italy became real in my mind! I never wanted this book to end!

This book was refreshing to read and explored the taboo subject of intimacy among teenagers in a way that was comfortable, relatable, and at the same time fun to read about.

As usual Emily's books are light and enjoyable. Great summer read in addition to some serious issues.

None Shall Sleep

book cover


Ok, so you are kidding me right now. I was so excited about this and thought it would be so good but it did not meet my expectations. I was hooked and then I was not and then I was and then I was not. I felt the storyline and plot were not as consistent as they should have been. I am in between rating this a one and a two star but I think it is a one. I would have rated it a two if they ended up kissing but that never happened so now I am upset. I kind of hope there is another one after this since they get another opportunity at the end of the book. I might read if there is one.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows

I loved this book because the way the J.K. Rowling set up the world is amazing. Her descriptions of the people, places, and events happening is honestly fun to read. While it is a pretty long book, it goes by so fast with all of the action. It is a little bit confusing at first because you are thrust into another world, parallel to the one you are living in now.

The book Aliens in Disguise is about two kids named David and Amy. The grandmother owns a bed and breakfast called the Intergalactic Bed & Breakfast. It's a place where aliens can go for vacation on Earth. Their grandmother has to go away and they are in charge of the bed & breakfast. They have to make sure that nobody finds out that there are aliens staying there. I rate this book as five stars. It was a great read and definitely recommend.
