Kazuo Ishiguro: A Pale View of Hills (Paperback, 2005, Faber and Faber) 4 stars

In his highly acclaimed debut, A Pale View of Hills, Kazuo Ishiguro tells the story …

Too subtle for me by far

2 stars

The second Kazuo Ishiguro book I've read, and had it been my first it would also have been my last. I found the story lacking and the dialogue irrelevant and banal. The characters felt flat and affectless. There was just nothing here for me. Apparently a book too subtle for me to enjoy.

The biggest surprise about it was how much I disliked it after really enjoying Never Let Me Go.
