Another good book.

I feel all weird and restless. Rah.

I finished Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro  last night. What a strange book. I really liked it - one that you can't stop thinking about. It's all very dream-like and serene and seems very mundane until you realise what the book is about. It's kind of sci-fi but not really - a bit of alternate history if you like. If you're going to read it, try to do it without reading any reviews first that might spoil the story for you. I went into it knowing more than I should and it would probably have worked better had I learned things more slowly as the book went on. It really pulls you in and I just had to finish it before I went to bed last night.

I think I may go to bed now to read Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell now as my mum has finally finished with it. God, I'm a dynamo of energy and excitement aren't I.
