My review of Never Let Me Go from about a year ago. I think the author meant to show how thoroughly someone could be conditioned to accept his fate. Scary stuff.

“Disorientated” is the preferred form in England, while “disoriented” is preferred in the United States.

I loved this book and I think partly because they didn’t fight back. It was more a view of what the world could be like, and how would they ever have fought back? It wasn’t that they were soulless, but raised with no hope, or love, and it never even occured to them to fight back.
The most they wanted was the chance to get married, or be together(I’m forgetting details?) And if anything, I think all those art experiments led them to have souls.
I loved the writing, and how he spun out the story, so slowly, that it seemed normal, which is how they were raised too, with their info slowly revealed so that it seemed normal to them.

I read this one almost a year ago. I rated it a 4/5. I can’t answer your question about the book, but “disorientated” is in the dictionary.
