Never Let Me Go Opens in Movie Theaters on September 15th

I just watched the trailer for Never Let Me Go and can't wait to see the movie. You can take a look by clicking HERE. Starring Keira Knightly, Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield, the story, considered by some to be science fiction, is rather speculative fiction considering a possible future that is as frightening as the one depicted in Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. Whether you see the movie or not, you should read this book by Kazuo Ishiguro who also wrote The Remains of the Day among other great titles.

Never Let Me Go (2005)

Never Let Me Go was short listed for the Booker Prize in 2005. It has a simplistic tone that belies the remarkable world in which the narrator lives her controlled life. Apparently the book is referred to as science fiction but it transcends that genre. It could more appropriately be referred to as speculative fiction since it imagines a possible future world.

Kazuo Ishiguro's other titles include The Remains of the Day, The Unconsoled and When We Were Orphans.

Often mentioned along with Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, this is a story that is frightening in its implications.
