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!
His books are all in the 3.5 and above range, which is what good books usually get in my opinion. Remains of the Day is even higher at 4.14, I think that’s about the highest rating that a classic will get, cause you’re always going to have people reading who don’t connect with it. When you look at the books rated like 4.3+ it’s usually stuff that’s ONLY read by its target audience and basically guaranteed to be highly rated for that reason. Often really bad stuff honestly.
