Has anyone read any of his other books? (Apologies if I've missed any commentary on this, I'm brain dead from too much time commuting. This is really for the V&R thread, but the train driver today "forgot" to stop at my station, adding an extra hour on to my journey home - I also had a 60 mile drive after that debacle). I just wonder if Never Let Me Go is typical or atypical of his output?
