Never Let Me Go is a very interesting book with an interesting premise. It centers around Tommy, Kathy H. and Ruth, who have all grown up in mysterious circumstances at an elite school called Hailsham. Although Tommy and Kathy share an intense connection, their friend Ruth manages to insert herself between them and manages to date Tommy throughout their teen years. The mysterious reason for their presence at Hailsham and their disassociation from the outside world is something that a reviewer shouldn't spoil for the reader. As the trio gets older and goes out into the world they manage to find their way back to each other and truths are revealed. I really admired the author's choices in this novel and I felt that his writing was sublime. This book was written in such a stylish, easy manner - it was a gem of a book.
