The third (and final?) installment of The Giver books. The Giver was more uptopic/dystopic worlds, Gathering Blue had a Sci-Fi feel, and this one was more fantastical. I enjoyed it very much.One complaint: if I met the reader on the street (I audio booked it) I would say, "Hey guy, SLOW DOWN! St. Elsewhere has been cancelled; what are your rushing off to?"Addendum: The more I thought about this book since completing it, the more annoyed I became. It just ends so abruptly. What happened? I knowWhile the plot issues with Gathering Blue weren't resolved in this one, it stood on it's own better as a story. I loved Matty in this, and all the other characters too, like Seer, Leader (who's totally Jonas), Jean, and Kira from Gathering Blue. The themes of immigration and acceptance, of social sickness reflecting in nature were very well done and relevant. I wished there had been a bit more in some areas, but found myself deeply engrossed throughout and read it all in one sitting (it is very
Here's the second companion piece to The Giver. I liked this one better than the first, Gathering Blue. Actually, it had potential to be a great book, but it's like Lowry forgot her plot lines and things just fell off at the end of the book. The first two books, The Giver and Gathering Blue deal with utopian societies. This book takes place in a village with all the outcasts from these utopian societies. It's called the village of the Broken, people with some deformity, disfigurement or handicap
I am speechless. This book has literally blown my mind away. This is the third book written by Lois Lowry, after "The Giver" and "Gathering Blue". If you were dissatisfied with the end of The Giver, I highly recommend this book, as you'll realize what has truly happened to Jonas and Gabe. The "Messenger" focuses on Matty, a character who briefly appeared in "Gathering Blue". We can see that everything is doing fine in the village he is currently living, but something ominous is approaching. Is
Arrrrrgh! (In the best way...)I was 15 pages from the end and said to my husband, "I don't see how this is going to end!" So when I get to the end, I moaned, and he asked whether it was a bad ending, to which I replied, "Really good--but bad."And that is all I can tell you. This is one you really must read if you have not. I think I might even read it again to really "get" it. If you can, start with The Giver and go right through to Gathering Blue and then Messenger. I have not enjoyed a related
I think this is the most boring book of the series so far. Very little happened really, although we did get one revelation (view spoiler)[ Matty is a healer. (hide spoiler)] Otherwise I spent most of this book bored. 5 out of 10
