A friend loaned me Son of a Witch; do I need to re-read Wicked (since it was long, long ago when I first read it) for it to make any sense?

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
No. You need to remove your brain and any sort of comprehensive reading skills for it to make sense.
Also, being drunk might not hurt.

Oh. Hmmm, so should I skip it?
Maybe. I don't know. I'm bitter about that book. You might like it. It is an easy read, mostly. It doesn't get as entwined as Wicked did.
Aimee, I thought you were really enjoying it when you first started reading it?
I was. The ending pissed me off and the more I thought about the book, the more I got mad at it.
Ah, the story that made me wish I could go back in time and prevent Ray Bradbury from signing away the movie rights.

Sadly, that might be an improvement.
It hit me similarly. I had no idea I even cared until, all the sudden, I was a freakin' mess. It was very impressive, because I knew Ishiguro was heading towards a conclusion like that, but when it arrived, it just devastated me.
Ishiguro does that brilliantly. Remains of the Day hit me like that. For some reason, I wasn't as affected by Never Let Me Go, but I'm not sure why.
I've heard that from a few other people, but Never Let Me Go is the first Ishiguro novel I've read.
