14 March 2006

the Guardian's doing Never Let Me Go in their bookclub for March. discussion here (i'm going to join in, i think)
I was wondering what others thought of the character's overwhelming passivity--they never once tried to escape or tried to actually live a normal life once out "in the world", which really rang false to me--especially in terms of Ruth and her strength of character. To many of us, even a failed escape and being killed trying would be preferable to being harvested slowly and just accepting it.

Thanks for pointing this out. I'll be interested to see what people have to say.
