Reviews
"Written with powerful, moving simplicity, Claire's story stands on its own, but as the final volume in this iconic quartet, it holistically reunites characters, reprises provocative socio-political themes, and offers a transcending message of tolerance and hope. Bravo!"-- Kirkus, starred review "Lowry is one of those rare writers who can craft stories as meaningful as they are enticing."-- Booklist, starred review "Son is a tender conclusion to this memorable story, and definitely the best of the books in this sequence since The Giver itself."-- School Library Journal, starred review   "The strength of this novel is its compassionate portrait of a mother's commitment to her lost child."-- Horn Book, "Written with powerful, moving simplicity, Claire's story stands on its own, but as the final volume in this iconic quartet, it holistically reunites characters, reprises provocative socio-political themes, and offers a transcending message of tolerance and hope.

Item was delivered as advertised however it was not delivered in a box which allowed it to receive some minor damage. Book was in 2 very durable form fitted vinyl/plastic bags which would have been great had then been placed in a box to protect it. Seller was very easy to discuss issue with and the damage is slight. I would buy again from this seller.

Not standard size, used; priced like new standard size. Seller refused to pay return shipping for not-standard item, not noted in listing. I learned not to buy a book without a listed size; could be anything.

  • High Expectations, Low Delivery.

    This was absolutely the worst book in the Giver series. The hype that it was going to conclude Jonas' story really had me excited. At the end of the day, this story is centered around a new character, with minimal information on what happened to Jonas and Gabe after fleeing, and a whole bunch of nonsense involving wizards, evil, and far-fetched scenarios. The captivation of The Giver, for me, had always been the potential for realism. While we realize that present reality does not exist under the conditions as Jonas' town, there are so many elements which could exist, with many of the others existing as metaphors. In The Giver this is done subtly and creatively and I thought it was such a wonderful blend of reality and fantasy. With Son, it's just a poorly written disaster.

  • a page turner.
