It arrived today safe and sound. That was fast! Thank you so much, ann-718my! I have put your book on my urgent TBR pile, so I hope to get to it soon...:-)
This now reserved for Niksu as part of a trade.
Now on its way to Niksu in Finland. Enjoy!
The book came today! Thank you bluecat07 for sending it. It looks tempting but unfortunately it has to go to my tbr-pile atleast for awhile.
Such a good book it made me wonder why I haven’t pick this up earlier! Gripping and confusing. First few pages were really difficult, it makes one think whether to continue and try to find out what’s going on, or to be annoyed and throw the book aside. In my opinion, slightly not holding it’s grip till the very end but all in all a good book and way better than Remains of the day!
Thanks bluecat07 for this book! I offered this on a Finnish forum and erpax was really quick to accept it. The book is now on it's way to Tampere.

This book was offered on Finnish bookrelay - again. Sorry, VariC that I've been busy and therefore forgetful, but I'll post this book tomorrow!
29.1.2010. I found this book covered by a great pile of papers on my desk at work ... I was amazed and ashamed. Nomen est omen? Now, Never let me go is on its way to Berlin.

The book is in Berlin now. Thanks a bunch, erpax!
A really wonderful reading experience. The narrating voice of Kathy was so good, I just wanted to keep reading. I liked how the reader doesn't really get to know anything general about the students' situation and the environment, just what the students themselves know. I also read an observation of this book somewhere, how the reader is in a similar situation as the students, always not getting quite enough information to understand everything but only so much that the next pieces become acceptable, yet there is never a point where one can react to the complete situation as a whole.

Creepy, confusing, but really, really beautiful. I liked this a lot. Thank you ann-718my, and of course VariC for sharing.
Quite many bookcrossers have this book on their wishlists, so I think I'll let it travel to another continent as a wishlist surprise.
*** Edit Sept 1st. Not really another continent, no. Cannot resist the chance to send my first book to Russia. Happy reading, taisafinskaia!

If I knew that this book would be so interesting it would not wait so long in my TBR list! I was reading it everywhere and it was very difficult not to read it instead of work!

Wow!!! This is probably very close to being one of my favourite books. It mesmerized me. I couldn't do anything else but read Kathy's little school stories, her loves and friends and future while in fact every word read "donation" "donation" "donation". This is sinister as psychoanalisis has it: the familiar gone terrifying.
It really had an hypnotic quality on me. At every page you're expecting SOMETHING will happen, someone will react, something. But of course....
I'll have to decide what to do with this book, either pass it to my local group or pass it along so it keeps travelling.
