The Giver

Rare for a science fiction book to stick with me this long after finishing. The Giver did.

Lois Lowry has a new fan. The Giver is exactly the kind of science fiction I keep hoping to find.

Wanted to love this more than I did. Lois Lowry's ideas are there; the execution is uneven.

Finished The Giver in two sittings and immediately wanted to start it over.

A comfortable, well-crafted read. The Giver does exactly what it sets out to do.

Not bad, but I expected more from a science fiction book with this much buzz.

The Giver hit every note I wanted from a science fiction book, and then some.

Stayed up way too late finishing The Giver. Worth every lost hour of sleep.
