'Never Let Me Go'

I often visit book stores and I always say that I could be sold on a book I've never heard of by the book cover or book title.

"Never Let Me Go" initially hooked me because of the title. It sounded so sincere, so desperate.

I don't think the story itself was as sincere or desperate. In fact, the title comes from a fictional song Kaz Ishiguro makes up for his plot. It's a sincere title used in a very unsincere way.

That defines the book. I don't feel Ishiguro captured the true torment and fear and desperation the characters had to have been feeling.
