The giver is such a good book on its own, and the rest of the books in this series don't really compare. I loved the first third of this book, it told the same story as the giver in a different point of view. The rest of it went a different direction with super natural themes that just didn't seem t...
Ultimo libro della tetralogia The giver, Il figlio riprende trame e personaggi già conosciuti nei romanzi precedenti per creare una nuova, avvincente, ultima avventura nell'incredibile mondo distopico creato dalla penna di Lois Lowry.All'inizio della nostra storia facciamo la conoscenza di Claire, u...
Are sequels ever as good as book one?I can’t think of a single time I have found this to be true.And, consequently, I’ve formed my policy of Reading Only the First Book.It is a policy that has served me well in my life. With a few, rare exceptions.Like The Giver series. Now, having read Son, I’ve re...
Son is Lois Lowry's final book in her series that started with The Giver. And, despite her marvelous prose, it is largely a disjointed and unnecessary book except for tying up loose ends.The book is split into three parts, "Before," "Between," and "Beyond." Before is basically a retreading of The Gi...
Now, I need to give a word of caution to those of you who are interested in reading Son. Son is not a sequel to The Giver. To fully understand the story, you need to have read at the very least Messenger. After finishing Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley, I was in a wee reading slump and d...
Haven't no knowledge of "The Giver" - I did know there was a Jonas in that book, I kept an open mind and read this within a day and was moved but mystified by it as well. There were elements of "The Handmaid's Tale" and any/every dystopian fiction (Brave New World) in the first 1/3 of the book and t...
I’ve waited for this novel to come out and was then reluctant to read it since I did not want the story to end. The Giver is one of my favorite books and the other books in the series make Son by Lois Lowry come together to give the series its final closure. I really believe to get the true depth o...
Great writing, but... but...Part 1: [b:The Giver|3636|The Giver (The Giver, #1)|Lois Lowry|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1342493368s/3636.jpg|2543234] from a less interesting perspective.Part 2: Training montage! With flirting.Part 3: Love as Deus Ex Machina!And... just... why?
Son brings us back to the original community we read about in The Giver, and tells us the story from the perspective of Water Claire and ties up the questions about the place where Jonas and Gabe were born.Everyone in the community is assigned a ‘job’ at the age of 13. Claire was given the job of ...
I really loved this story. I have been a fan of The Giver since my 7th grade teacher read it to the class. I remember we had to write what we thought happened to Jonas and Gabe after they escaped from the community. I was a little worried because I didn't read the two other books in the quartet, ...
