Second installment to Youth classic, "The Giver." Required in numerous 8th/9th grade English classrooms. Introducing the idea of a utopian society to youth for the 1st time. The well known Trilogy also includes a third book, Gathering Blue. Only recently for the 20th Anniversary of "The Giver" author, Lois Lowry has written a 4th book called, "The Son" now available as of Oct 2012. Which makes the series a fourquet and answers the many hanging questions left by the "The Giver" Reading the two, middle books is not entirely necessary as the "The son" is more a sequel to the 1st book, "The Giver."

This addition to the Giver series felt more heavy-handed and preachy than the other two; I felt uncomfortable rather than intrigued or entranced while reading it.
Partagé. Autant c'est un plaisir de voir réunis les deux univers précédents, autant la fin me paraît tardive et bâclée, voir un peu trop facile. Dommage. On verra ce que le quatrième et dernier donne :)
The best of the four books, in my opinion. Matty completely captivated me from the start and I hungrily followed his story to the end of the book. Such a well-written story with utterly real characters - a joy to read!
