Never Let Me Go is a 2005 dystopian science fiction that tells the story of Kathy H, who grows up in an extraordinary boarding school. Time magazine named the book as the best novel of 2005 and included it in its "100 Best English-language novels published since 1923—the beginning of TIME”1 . “Never Let Me Go” gives the reader a chance to know more about free will, social injustice, true friendship, and love. It’s that kind of book that keeps you interested until the last sentence and after you have finished it you will have a lot to think about. Also, isn’t it interesting to know how it feels to be a clone? Who would not like to have one?

The plot of the book is set in England, at the end of the 20th century. Kathy H. is a 31 years old woman who, along with her two best friends, Tommy and Ruth, attends Hailsham boarding school. The children were actually cloned to donate their organs after graduating from the school. This fact makes the story more exciting and shows how the world would look, if cloning was possible. The students are taught about a healthy lifestyle and the consequences of bad habits, such as smoking. One of the teachers, Miss Lucy, once tells the kids that they are all clones made for donating their organs to people in need. This was like a cold shower for the kids because all of them have their expectations of life after Hailsham and they have to accept the truth. In this part, the whole story gets a new, even more interesting turn. We see new developments in the characters as individuals and as a part of society.

I would suggest that readers start to read the book without looking for a short description or reviews because the book is more interesting if you discover all the dark sides by yourself. The characters hide a lot of secrets and since they are experiencing their adolescence, they get into trouble and are facing many dilemmas. The book is similar to science fiction, so there is no need to believe in everything that is happening. While you read the book you might ask yourself, “Why didn't the children run from the school?” Well, everyone can give different and controversial answers, so each reader should find it after reading the book. The book covers many important issues, such as free will, and explains how important it is to have good friends around you.

For me, the book was interesting and each of the three parts kept my attention. However, from the last few chapters, it’s easy to guess what kind of denouement it will have, at the same time it gives us a lot to think about and discover. “Never Let Me Go” deserves all the attention that it got when it was published and from my point of view this book suits for everyone, no matter how old you are.
