In this story, the protagonist is similar to the ones before, unable to control how the story unfolds. They get themselves into a mess without realizing it. At the end, we can’t help but wonder if all the scenes and mess can actually do anything to them. Truth is, although the events occurred in the story may seem unnatural and exaggerated or even significant, it does not change the life of the characters at all.

On page 212, I was slapped hard on the face by Eloise. I was tricked and utterly furious about the plot. I am not surprised though, but actually hearing Eloise say those things just ignite the fire of anger in me. I mean if we take her words seriously, then I can also call myself a ‘virtuoso’. I don’t like the story and whatever the message is.

In Come Rain or Come Shine, Ishiguro tossed the emotions of the reader like a piece of clothing is being tossed around in the washing machine.

Even tho the dialogue is long and boring to the point where I want to give up reading this book, after reading the story it would linger in my head for a very long time. I can’t quite figure out what Ishiguro is trying to convey, and his words just haunt me in my daydreams.

Beautiful story. But the pace is as slow as it was in the Unconsoled. I also feel like Ishiguro is trying to make the reader feel bad for the characters deliberately - the plot is sad for the sake of being sad
