I had no idea what to expect when I started reading this book. The beginning seems vague and mysterious, like you're a kid listening in on an adult conversation that you don't quiet understand. You're missing this one vital piece of information and it takes a while into the book where you start to put the pieces together. Even at the end, I feel like this is part about what actually happens to them that you don't entirely know. 
 In a why, it's good that Kazuo didn't go into detail about where the donations go because it allows you to focus on Kathy, Ruth and Tommy instead of the pink elephant in the room. 
 I like the first person narration because it allows the reader to connect with Kathy and really (attempt) to understand Hailsham. 
 Overall, it was a great book. It was easy to read and to follow. It felt like Kathy was in the room with me telling me this story of her life. I was sad when it ended because I felt like I still didn't know enough.
