The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro

Having heard of Ishiguro, I was eager to take part in some of his writing.  It was billed as fantasy which it clearly was...there was some magic here, a general forgetting by everyone of everything, a world set post-Arthur with some of the legends still hanging about and drifting in and out of the story...dragons and giants and whatnot...I like his style well enough, I liked the characters well enough, I found their adventures palatable enough...I think I might have missed the point of the ending because did they end up together or not??? so that bugged me a little bit... In a review by Neil Gaiman he describes this book as " a novel that's easy to admire, to respect and to enjoy, but difficult to love"...and I think that's just about right.  Recommend it?  Sure, it was fine.  Insist you should read it?  You won't hear that from me.
