A review by kristinabrune_author
Son by Lois Lowry

3.0

I had really high hopes for this whole series and feel a bit let down. The Giver is one of my favorite books of all time, but, while I loved the characters and the storylines were compelling, I feel like the other 3 didn't quite live up. I never understood how - and why - all these different communities were connected. What happened to cut them off from each other? Clearly this is some kind of future world, but what happened? Also, I feel like the "evil" was way too convenient and not convincing. The ending of the whole series is really resolved in the last 10% of the last book.
