I loved reading this book, as well as, "The Giver" and Lowery's companion books. However, I did feel that Claire's story was very long and involved and I would have liked to learn more about Jonas and Gabe. I would have liked to know more about Jonas' gift. (**Side note** - I did not read "Messenger" but did read "Gathering Blue". Might have missed something by not reading that book, yet!)
Overall, I was excited to finally learn what had happened to some of the characters in "The Giver". Claire's perspective of Jonas' father was interesting. He seemed much the same as he was in the first book - giving and caring toward little Gabe. I would recommend this and any of Lois Lowery's books to any upper elementary student, especially those who enjoy dystopian literature. A great entry place for this genre.
