I read Klara and the Sun, couldn’t get through it, thought it dull and not well written. But Jam, I need to give it another try, based on your comments and rec. Thanks for the insight. Good things come in narrow bookstores apparently.

that’s understandable. As for me, I have found my groove with Ishiguro already. Please let me know if you get the chance to try it again.

I think you’ll like it! It’s not horror but it’s so haunting!

no not until I was 20% into the book. I saw that Jenna Ortega was playing in it and I was like huh?? But when I was into that plot twist already, I understood why Jenna Ortega was chosen for that role.

I am interested to see how they portray that Cubism thing. I think it was so cool.

I love the variety here! I also really enjoyed Wedding People, and your post has me intrigued about Klara and the Sun (I loved Remains of the Day by this author). Thank you for sharing!
