Book Ends: Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro

 I just finished Klara and the Sun. I wish I could say I loved it but I thought it was a bit slow moving. If you know me then you know I really like to read novels about artificial intelligence. And, Klara was an artificial friend. 

 


She was selected, much like a new toy, by Josie, a girl who had some health issues. The story is told through the eyes of Klara and is set in a futuristic world. She has great observational qualities and offers insight into human emotion and vulnerabilities, all of which are present today. Klara, is devoted to Josie and thinks she can solve Josie's problem, going to a great extent to do so. But in the end...


Well I will leave that for you to find out.
