Set in the near distant future, Ishiguro's dystopian novel describes a world where clones are created for the sole purpose of organ donation. Kathy, a clone transitioning to become a donor, struggles to discover the mysteries behind Hailsham, the boarding school where she and other cloned children were raised. Although the book was an enjoyable read overall, the ending came as no surprise and seemed a bit disappointing after Kathy's long emotional journey. I would rate this somewhere between Recommended and Highly Recommended.
