Son by Lois Lowry
3.0

I remember my sixth grade teacher reading us The Giver. I bought it that year and have read it at least 20 times since. I always loved the story, and gleaned new things from it each time.

I was disappointed with the two follow up books, but needed to read Son. It filled some voids, but I wish I could have had the first half of the story, from Claire’s perspective, in with The Giver. I feel like The Giver left so much up to interpretation, so many ways to be read, but the three books that followed just laid out a path that was much too literal.
