Ratings and reviews

Good series. Giver is Cool. Gathering Blue was king of lame. Messager was Saj. But oh my god. I loved Son. Gabriel has a mom! So did not reallize that one. Their's So much that we didn't know about Gabriel. And Claire is a fretty Awesome character. Too bad she left before we could see what happened in the community after Jonas left. Speaking of where, I was right, Leader is Jonas. Funny, Matty once thought that Kara would Marry Jonas, and she did. I love Gabriel, he's like my favorite character from this series, Thank god he killed Traid master. Anyway, I liked the second part Of the Story too. It's amazing what a mother can go through to find her son. I'm glad that she becake young again, and I hope that She gets to be with her son now. Although, I don't know, We were reft with quite a cliff Hanger. I love this series.

THE GIVER QUARTET is a great series. Once I started the first book, I could not stop reading! After the first one sadly closed to an end, I realized, “Wait, there are 3 more books in the series!” After that, I proceeded to read the other three. They did not disappoint. THE GIVER is a dystopian book that starts off a good read, and then evolves into a well thought out interconnection of chapters. And trust me, it gets GOOD. Even after you’ve read 2 of them. Overall, I recommend it to older students and adults alike. Also, quick note to any other reviewers: PLEAS DONT SPOIL THE BOOK. Thank you.

All 4 books are stories that are well-told. They keep you reading to find out what will happen next. The only thing I didn't like about the books was the endings. Each book felt incomplete. They eventually ended up weaving a good story together, but even the final ending was anticlimactic and too simple for how complex the story was.
