A review by ldutch
Son by Lois Lowry

4.0

I loved the Giver and the books that followed because they each had a strong message about humanity. This book starts strong from the perspective of Gabe's birthmother and her search to be reunited with him. Maybe because I am a mom myself, I could really identify with the first part of the book. The middle, however, slowed things down too much in my opinion. Things picked pack up toward the end, where Gabe has to fight the Trademaster one last time, this time, to save his mother. This last book brings everything full circle and ends beautifully.
