novel--I had no idea what it was about when a friend gave it to me, and
I figured out the organ scheme within the first twenty pages.
In fact, I'd argue that it's much more obvious if you already have a grounding in sci-fi...

B-It's not like The Island, it's NOTHING like The Island. The society has advanced to the point where we have clones and they use the clones for organ harvesting.
Gee, never heard that story before.
That is the only similarity they have. They aren't even clones of the people who get the organs.
It's a fantastic novel, I think it would make a good film, but for the love of heaven why does everybody have to say things like "This movie is just like that movie" when they're only superficially similar? Somebody even said City of Ember was like The Island. GAH.

Definitely worth a read.

I liken it to slow disclosure in films. Yes, it colors everything that came before and it's best if you don't know, but it doesn't make you not like watching things again.
I just get mad because people love going around saying the endings to things. If I _want_ to know the ending, that's fine, and it's not always ruined. But if I don't want to know...then why say it?

quit whining.

Really? I mean, I sometimes think it's silly to try and shield oneself from spoilers but "illiterate moron"? Not wanting to know a spoiler makes you unable to read? And he was actually saying that one can still enjoy the book (as well as many other twist ending stories) even if you know the end.

Such an incredible book. And everything about Kiera Knightly makes sense to me in this role, except I'm not sure she's a good enough actress.
The problem is, I can't think of someone similar who is a better actress to recast this with.

I think it's pretty widely understood that KK is the poor man's Natalie Portman.
