Back in 2014, when I read and reviewed The Giver, I erroneously thought that book was the first in a trilogy, where the second book would pick up where the first left off. I soon learned that there is a quartet of books, and that Gathering Blue, the second installment, while in the same "universe" ...
I absolutely loved this book!So I read this rather quickly as I had jury duty and had plenty of time to read. I was also able to read it quickly, because it is a hard book to put down. I did not want to stop reading it. I read it during waiting periods and lunch breaks, even while waiting in line to...
4/5 stars "Take pride in your pain. You are stronger than those who have none."Gathering Blue is the second installment in The Giver Quartet. When I read The Giver for the first time when I was a kid I wasn't even aware there were other books. When I learned there were I decided to read them now a...
This book was nice. Kira's talent or skill isnt what i was really expecting. Usually when talents are involved with main characters, its always more like painting, singing, sports, or fighting techniques. Ive never really encountered weaving so i thought that was an original. And the thought of ever...
The first half of the book is kind of slow. But as the plot moves on, Kira and Matt becomes so adorable. The last scene when Matt walked days to find the blue for Kira as a gift is so touching. And the missing of Matt before he turns out to be safe made me so worried about him.
Lois Lowry does it again. This is the second book in The Giver Quartet, but has nothing to do with The Giver other than being about a different dystopian community as far as I can see. That's ok, though, because it's a good book on its own. Kira is a likable heroine. Born crippled, she has learn...
Nouvelle dystopie, même si j'ai du mal à voir le rapport avec le Passeur (peut être dans le tome 3?) l'univers décrit est très intéressant, tribal, violent, a l'opposé totale de la société décrite dans le premier volume. Les personnages sont attachants et l'histoire, bien qu'elle mette du temps à se...
Gathering Blue is set in the same time frame as the first book in the series, The Giver, but in a different part of the world. Although it is a companion to the first, it is its own story. Although the world itself is very different and far more primitive, it is intriguing in its own right and full ...
Take your pride in your pain. You are stronger than those who have none.Before reading Gathering Blue, I was expecting a continuation where [b:The Giver|6240223|Give Up the Ghost|Megan Crewe|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1406075063s/6240223.jpg|6422989] left the readers hanging, about what happened ...
I ended up reading the entire Giver Quartet (The Giver, Gathering Blue, Messenger, Son) almost one right after the other and found that what I wanted to say for each book was so similar that it made more sense to just put all four books in the same review rather than repeat myself. Each book focus...
