“Never Let Me Go” is a book you should read with little to no knowledge of the scope or plot of the story. It’s set up to give you bits of world building at a time. The narrator, Kathy, drops world building into dialogue and then explains it after. The story is told in first person narration, so the reader comes to understand Kathy pretty intimately. We also learn a lot about her friends, Tommy and Ruth. The dynamics of this friendship triangle was the most interesting part of the book to me. The plot is not action-packed, but as I was reading the pacing felt steady but fast. I’m not a big science fiction reader, and I think other science fiction novices will enjoy this one too.
