I’m a big time Ishiguro fan and can’t for the life of me understand why his books are rated so low on Goodreads?

My hunch is that he doesn’t always go for the happy endings, not always a perfect resolution, and can leave someone unsettled but the books themselves are great works of literary art. It won’t end like some superhero movie with the good guys saving the world from the bad guys

But am I missing something?

Also no spoilers on any of his books!

    Book ratings on platforms like Goodreads can be subjective and influenced by individual preferences. It’s important to consider that people have diverse tastes, and what some may find appealing, others might not. Ratings can also be affected by factors such as the complexity of the narrative, writing style, or even reader expectations. Ishiguro’s works, known for their nuanced storytelling and often exploring existential themes, might not resonate with everyone. It’s always a good idea to read reviews and consider multiple perspectives to form your own opinion about a book.
