This will be absolutely devastating, won't it?

It is, and it will.

One of the few novels I shed a tear at but still enjoyed immensely. Perfectly balanced.

I think they’ll be studying it in high schools in 10 years. What a writer.

The book is pretty slow, and you sort of realize that it's probably a metaphor for aging and death part of the way through, and then the end really hits you hard. I can't wait to be an emotional wreck at the end of this

I read the book. Not nearly as powerful as Never Let Me Go. But still has its moments. I was pretty disappointed in it.
