There's actually four books in the series. I really enjoyed the book as well and I have read both the second and third books. I can't wait to get a chance to read the fourth book!Georgia wrote:I read this book recently for the first time, and was completely blown away. It sucked me in and until I felt like I was watching the events instead of reading them. The ending was a little weird - I'm still not sure if it was metaphorical or not. I had no idea that it was part of a trilogy, so I'm going to read the rest!

However, The Giver by Lois Lowery is one of my most favorite books of all time. It is a classic in the genre of dystopian society. It clearly outlines the age old question: Would you rather have truth and beauty or happiness and stability?
Many people (especially my students) often answer truth and beauty as soon as I ask but I tell them think - what is we gave up colors to make sure no one ever went hungry? That stops to make them think a little more,
