I haven't read it yet but I've seen the film, which I really liked. It's a soft dystopian, nothing radical really except for certain major aspects which I won't reveal here. Otherwise, it's very modern-day British or rather period British even in feel.

It's more love story set against a dystopian background, but it's not just either of those. Even though I've already seen the film and so the story is spoiled for me, I still want to read the book because I loved Ishiguro's writing in Remains of the Day (another book I read after seeing the film and still loved the book).
