La rivincita è il secondo romanzo della trilogia di Lois lowry di genere distopico; a differenza di ciò che però si può pensare, il primo e il secondo non hanno nessun rapporto di continuazione o personaggi simili. Anche i mondi rappresentati non potrebbero essere più differenti: la società di "The ...
2.5 stars because I couldn't decide between two or three.The extent of my love/hate relationship with this book can’t be explained properly with words. I was excited to read it after I read The Giver because I loved that book. I figured the next book in the series would arouse the same love, but tha...
Find this review at City of BooksThe Giver is possibly one of my favorite dystopian novels of all time but I was very hesitant to read Gathering Blue.

But disinterested because I really didn't care. That made no sense. But oh well.Anyway, I'm still eager to find out what happened ...
A surprisingly gentle story against a brutal background of a village that discards the weak and indentures its artists. I liked it better than the Giver.
Oh, I'm so torn about this one. So many things that were so right with The Giver fall flat in this book. Constantly trying to figure out the subtleties of the community, the secrets at play, the overall message she's trying to give--were all better in The Giver. The questionable and undefined ending...
