A review by fletcherflute
Son by Lois Lowry

2.0

2 stars-

I was very excited to read this after re-reading The Giver, and heard from many that this was a great wrap-up to that story. I may have gone in with slightly different expectations than I should have.

I enjoyed the first third of the novel and found it compelling, but then the rest of the novel felt very sentimental and saccharine without much justification, and I felt that everything was just a bit too vague.

All in all, not for me. But I still enjoy the Giver as a stand-alone!
