4.5 stars!
This book gets 3 stars instead of 2 only because it is absolutely a masterwork of writing. It is phenomenal how well Ishiguro manages to capture on paper what a dream is truly like. But real dreams are very unsettling and usually unresolved, and this book has the same problem. Maybe I'm too much of an Aristotelian and want my catharsis, but it does seem to me that if you're going to plow through 500 pages of an actual dream that you can't wake up from, there needs to be more to it than this.
