Son Audiobook

" As good as The Giver but not for elementary. May be on the awards list. Middle and high school will enjoy. "

" My first audio-book read. It was nice to be entertained on my work commute and I enjoyed listening to this book. "

" Writing the culminating book in a series that is wildly popular and destined to be a classic is a daunting task, but one that Lowry handled well. It's been so long since I read the first three that I read this and viewed it as a free-standing story. On that basis I found it to be a solid success. When considered as a means of weaving all the threads of the series together it was equally successful. "

" This is a compelling ending to the Giver series. All four stories are interwoven to a satisfying conclusion in this futuristic dystopian society. "

" Good continuation of story "

" Really enjoyed this series...highly recommend for a 5th grade student. Adults will enjoy it as well.As I was reading this, the teacher in me was already planning out a novel study unit on these books. "

" Son tied up all the loose ends. Nothing matches The Giver, one of the best young adult novels I've ever read, but this is worth the time. "

" I didn't really like this one as much as the rest of the series. It did tie everything together but just seemed to be missing something. "

" Lowry has such a way with words and story telling. It was emotional and interesting at the same time. I love her writing. "

" I enjoyed this book, but you should not read it. It completely ruins The Giver. "

" I like this whole series, because I think Lowry is doing some interesting things with the questions of how human society is organized, and also her writing is both vivid and accessible. I really loved the Giver as a kid, so it's been a treat to go back to that world. "

" I've read many of Lowry's books and she is an amazing author. This book did not disappoint. "

" Really good. A really good end to the four books. "

" This was a very thought provoking set of books. I liked the time i spent reading them. "

" Thank you Lois Lowry for telling Gabe's story. Thank you for concluding this story that began in The Giver. And thank you for Gabe's gift--which if we all had or used could save the world. "

" I am happy the author continued the Giver saga even though I was fine with the ambiguous ending. It was quite a page turner as I wondered what was going to happen all the way to the end. Just as in the Giver, there is much food for thought. "

" The story was wrapped up ver well :D awesome. "

" good closure to the series "

" A great ending to the series! Now I'd like to go back and read through them all again. "

" It was sych a good book! Had so much suspense, Lois Lowry has greatly impressed me once again with a breath taking novel! "

" Intersting to see how the series comes together. "

" If you enjoyed The Giver, you'll love this book. It is told (mostly) from the perspective of the woman who is the birth mother of the baby in The Giver. "
