Never Let Me Go on Japanese TV

I watched Japanese TV version of "Never Let Me Go". The original story was in England, but that drama was in Japan. I think the TV drama described the original world well as well as the film version. 

I hope this TV show will boost the sales of the novel.

Never Let Me Go on DVD

I watched a movie, "Never Let Me Go", on DVD. It was a really good movie. The author Kazuo Ishiguro likely helped making the movie. I have read the original book and listened to the audiobook. Original text and the movie were kind of different stories, but the essential was the same. We have only a limited time. What is the most important thing to you?

Carey Mulligan played Kathy H. and she was really nice in the movie. Her eye expressions were touching.

Never Let Me Go on Japanese TV

A Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go will turn into a tv-show on January. I'm listening to the audiobook now, so I'm interested in the dramatizing. 

Clone and donation will be superficial issues, but the main theme might be another thing. I'm interested in how they handle the theme in the show. 

Anyway, it would be great if Ishiguro become popular in Japan due to the drama. 

Have a great new year everyone!

Never Let Me Go

I downloaded a Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, "Never Let Me Go" on Audible. I read the novel several years ago and I liked it. The novel was like a mystery, but Ishiguro didn't wrote the story like that. I think that the story was about inevitable destiny and how calmly they accepted that. 

When I read the book before, it took several months to read it. The audiobook is 9 hours long and it'll take five days to listen to it for me. Listening to novel in English is easier than reading it for me.

A Pale View of Hills

I've finished Kazuo Ishiguro's "A Pale View of Hills ". The author is a Japanese born British and the story was about a Japanese woman who lived in the Britain. She lost her Japanese born daughter and she remembered her old days in Japan. 

Ishiguro described typical old Japanese society well in the novel even he had left Japan when he was 5. 

Many short episodes are included and these are vague and beautiful. I highly recommend this novel.

I'm reading "A Pale Wiew of Hills" by Kazuo Ishiguro. The author is a Japanese born British. I've just read half of the story. I enjoy reading it so far. 

The book describes old Japanese lives after World War 2. Reading the book, I can imagine the situation well. And I can hear the sounds, smell the atmosphere clearly. He wrote it really well even he left Japan when he was five and he published it when he was 28. I'm not sure, but he might interviewed his parents. Or he remembered his childhood?

Reading Ishiguro

I've just started a Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, "A Pale View of Hills". He published the book when he was 28 and that was his first one. 

The story is so nice that I can read faster than ever. I've read 28% of it today. The story is about Japanese women in Nagasaki and the Britain. 

I'll finish it in two or three days and after that I'll read "When We Were Orphans" next.
