A review by shgmclicious
Son by Lois Lowry
Okay. So I have to admit that I read this in just a few hours, all in one plane ride, so it's obviously not terrible or hard to read.
But also, I don't really get what just happened, nor do I totally think this is a book that should have been published.
First, none of the "sequels" to [b:The Giver|3636|The Giver (The Giver, #1)|Lois Lowry|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1342493368s/3636.jpg|2543234] are actually very good. They all read as strange, and forcing them into the world of The Giver seems to limit them rather than serve as a fountain for drawing creativity.
But there are also a lot of actual problems with this as a book, not just with it as it relates to the other books in this weird quartet. First, whoever came up with the tagline for it, "The thrilling conclusion to The Giver," is cray cray, because this book is not a thriller. It's a muser.
