“I picked this book up because of the name, Kazuo Ishiguro. I knew he was a famous author and I knew that he is a Nobel Laureate. That's it. This is the first time I ever picked his book up and I am not disappointed. This story is set in an undisclosed time period and I would like to believe it as future. Klara is a robot and branded as AF (Artificial Friend) built to accompany kids. Klara stands apart from the other AF's, she has extraordinary observational skills. One day she is acquired by Mrs. Arthur to be the AF of her daughter, Josie. Now what happens after Klara goes into the new house…”
“This was a very interesting, bittersweet and thought-provoking read. Viewing the world from the perspective of an artificial friend was really neat and the author did an excellent job putting us into her shoes. The way the world seems to be different from ours is slowly revealed as the book progresses but is left intentionally vague. This vagueness combined with the decisions being made by some characters and the way the ending plays out leaves a lot of room for discussion regarding ethics and the use of technology to artificially create and alter the human experience or aspects thereof.”
