elcilly320 's review for:
Son
by Lois Lowry
Ok...I get the annoyance I read in other reviews. Son is a pretty anticlimactic end to the Giver quartet.
A mashup of worlds and the message-good can triumph. Love is important. Evil is nourished by our sorrow and therefore we cannot feed it.
This book bring Jonas and Gabe from The Giver, Kira from Gathering Blue and Claire from Messenger all together-their shared experiences, knowledge and special gifts combining to overcome evil.
Honestly-the Giver could have stood alone. I read it when I was 12 and it was profound, typical dystopian society that has been so overused now but really gave us some resonance because I read the book when I was Jonas's age and was intrigued by the struggle. Overall the four books combined were interesting but by the end seemed forced.
