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).

The movie cannot be compared to the book. The book is more dystopian then romance. So based on the book, it's not really a romance.
