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!
They mostly aren’t. Any quality book normally comes out with a rating in the 3.5 to 4.2 bracket. It’s only pulp for a particular fan group that gets higher ratings because normal people don’t read it and therefore rate it.
Anyway why would you care what goodreads thinks when the man has a Nobel Prize for Literature?
