So, I am a bit torn about this book. The premise is really great, about a mysterious school where a bunch of kids (aka clones) are studying and preparing themselves for the inevitable fate in their future: becoming donors for "real people". But the narration is soooo slow, the same problem I always faced when reading British books. It's dark and gloomy, sadly it lacks of that longing feeling I hoped to find when reading it.

Ow. Ow. This book is so specific and controlled and careful, like it’s narrator. It makes one think about the specific moral issue of dehumanizing someone for a specific difference in order to profit from their existence and yet not consider oneself a monster. And what it means, fundamentally, to be human.
WOW. I sped this one at a record pace because I had to figure out what was going on. Kind of dark, definitely a bit disturbing, but overall pretty incredible.
Ehhhhhhhh. I definitely expected more from the ending.
