NEVER LET ME GO REVIEW

“Maybe none of us really understand what we’ve lived through, or feel we’ve had enough time.”

- Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go


Never Let Me Go has to be one of the most inspiring novels I have read. Ishiguro captures a beauty and innocence in life that keeps the reader enchanted from beginning to end. The novel follows the heartfelt journeys of Ruth, Kathy and Tommy as they grow up to understand the world they live in and their purpose within it. Your heart will be touched and make you smile and cry, sometimes all at once. A stunning novel complimented by a beautiful film.

THE VOW FILM REVIEW

If it wasn’t for the fact that The Vow is based upon true events we might not quite believe the romance before us - or loss of, perhaps. The love is true and pure and the story couldn’t be more so as Paige (Rachel McAdams) and Leo (Channing Tatum) are pulled apart after a car accident that leaves Paige with memory loss of their marriage and life together. As their lives drift apart we can only wish that they will find each other again and rekindle the passion that brought them together before. 

It is a touching story solely driven by the couple who inspired the film. Without them it becomes a story of lost love that we refuse to believe in, and is most definitely one for the girls…

EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF, BERYL BAINBRIDGE REVIEW

The story of the Titanic is known worldwide, whether through James Cameron's emotion provoking film or a good old history lecture.

Beryl Bainbridge's Every Man For Himself does not delve into the romance of Jack and Rose, but follows Morgan's voyage across the seas and painstaking insight into love. Through his diary leading up to the Titanic's tragic end, we are given a look at 1912s elite circle with all of its glamour, glory and faults. 

Even with its inevitable ending, the novel entices you into the life of its characters and their relationships, a well deserved winner of the Whitbread Prize and Guardian Fiction Prize.
