Matty has lived in Village and flourished under the guidance of Seer, a blind man, known for his special sight. Village was a place that welcomed newcomers, but something sinister has seeped into Village and the people have voted to close it to outsiders. Matty has been invaluable as a messenger. No...
4/5 stars Lois Lowry writes well, and I think the fact that amazes me the most is that she turned this story into a good quartet when she never intended for there to be more books after The Giver. Admittedly I gave this 4 stars when it probably deserved 3 but I can’t help it. I know if I read it w...

Loved, loved, loved that all previous threads converge in this volume. All those open ends? Addressed. Serious christian overtones to this one. Had to keep from weeping at the end. Sobbing in the bus might have risen uncomfortable questions (No, no tragedies but the book I just read, sniff).
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...
