The concept is very interesting: people, when over 50 and childless, go to this place where, basically, they will give their organs and participate in all kinds of studies. We follow a small group of people, some strong bonds are created between these persons as they all know they only have a few months or weeks left before their final donation. The story is quite entertaining and I read it in a very short time. However, I wish there was more details about how this organ bank came to existence, why there is such a strong rejection of childless people, etc. Without all these explanations, I am not sure what that specific setting adds to the story. Extraordinary book. Don't be put off by the references to Orwell and Huxley. This is about a dystopian society but it is absolutely a human story. It is also unnervingly believable. I read this in one sitting. The characters are completely believable and the story is an engrossing human tragedy. It says a lot about the way we live and, ultimately, the main character's fate is a wonderful metaphor for the way so many people are living today.
Do You like book Enhet (2006)?
Similar concept to "Never Let Me Go" -- in my opinion this version is better.

A bit of a rip off of Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, which is much better.

Decent story, but the end left me completely underwhelmed.

Quick, but moving. Probably should have savored it more.
