Never Let Me Go

I have just started reading Never Let Me Go and what has struck me the most interesting so far is the narration. The narrator directs the text directly to the reader as if the text is very important for the reader to know. Each aspect of Hailsham is carefully explained as if the readers' knowledge of the school is vital. The plot is explained to the readers as if we have directly asked the narrator for this information she is providing for us.

In relation to "Freaks and Geeks", the characters so far seem relatively "normal" as compared to the characters in Geek Love and Nights at the Circus. I am excited to learn more about the characters and their mysterious situation at Hailsham during which I hope to learn why these characters might be considered "freaks".
