Review
"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"In the completely absorbing opening, Lowry transports readers back to the horrifying world from which Jonas came."—Publishers Weekly“A consummate stylist, Lowry handles it all magnificently: the leaps in time, the shifts in perspective, the moments of extreme emotion — fear, joy, sadness — all conveyed in unadorned prose that seizes the heart. Give this book to your child, your grandmother, your senator, your neighbor: It’s a bipartisan tale for our times.”—The Washington Post“Lois Lowry's Son [is] a gripping end to the Giver series”—The Los Angeles Times“It's the kind of book that will stay with you for days as you wonder about what it says about human nature, society, and the future of society.”—YPulse.com"A quiet, sorrowful, deeply moving exploration of the powers of empathy and the obligations of love."—The New York Times Book Review

I first happened upon The Giver as a child and read the book multiple times always wondering what happened after. I was gleefully surprised (and also a little embarrassed at my ignorance) to find in my adulthood that it was actually part of a quartet! I love all the books in the quartet and am so happy to finally know the "beyond" I had so often imagined and pondered as a child with The Giver. Seeing the other books come together in Son was exciting. The in depth writing by Lowry was refreshing. I loathe getting to the end of a series and feeling like something is missing or has been cut short. I never got that feeling with this quartet! Each book left me eager to pick up the next and then I felt a sense of closure and rightness at the completion of Son. Lowry is an amazing author! She gives the reader the ability to really see the stories play out vividly in ones mind. I only wish I had read the whole quartet sooner!
I LOVED the Giver, thought it was well written and so creative, absorbing, and with a very well defined / consistent to itself, dystopian society."Son" started out promisingly, but the last parts of book were very disappointing. While the book started out in the same dystopian setting as "the Giver", the last two parts of the story departed into extreme fantasy and extremely unrealistic elements. And left all sorts of questions about the original setting for the Giver, unanswered - so very unsatisfying. (SPOILER ALERT)In Son -- there are settings that seem totally unreal (a village that grows up behind a virtually insurmountable barrier separating it from the outside world and making it almost impossible to ever escape without years of extreme physical endurance training). And wildly supernatural elements are introduced (a character who can INSTANTY grant any wishes -- e.g., changed physical appearance, a material possession, a specific spouse, finding something lost, etc. -- and can also supernaturally and instantly take away people's looks, honor, youth, or other physical or character qualities. Just way too wild to accept. I was also disappointed that the village Jonas had escaped to - instead of providing answers, ended up just being a village made up of various refugees / escapees from various dysfunctional societies.It would have been so satisfying to understand how the society in "The Giver" had originally come about, what other communities were like, what the outside world was like (e.g., in "Son" - the people who came on boats to deliver supplies were apparently from the ordinary world. How were they involved in delivering supplies to the dystopian world of the Giver?) Also, when Jonas left his society in "The Giver", the hope had been that the society he left might experience change and freedom through the restoration of memories (that were to come back to them after Jonas left). It would have been so interesting to go back and see if the society had changed. But "Son" didn't give any indication that this would ever happen.
I received "Son" in the mail the same day my daughter-in-law went into labor. As I was getting ready to head out to the hospital to await the birth of my grandson, I decided I should bring a book to read for the potentially long hours of waiting, and grabbed my new book. It wasn't until I opened it up in the LDR room and began reading that the appropriateness of my choice struck me. The first two chapters describe a young girl who, having been selected as a Birthmother for her community, undergoes a difficult delivery by C-section. After the procedure, the "product" of her delivery is taken away to be nurtured and then assigned to a worthy family unit. Claire never overcomes her sense of loss, and becomes determined to find her son and possibly establish a relationship with him."Son" is divided into three sections, which are set in three different communities. The first part moved quickly, and the reader begins to recognize who the characters are in relation to the prior books in Lowry's series. The middle section dragged a bit, with a little too much tedious detail about Claire's decision and preparation for setting out to find her son, but the third part wraps up the story nicely. In this book, Lowry ties the characters from The Giver,Gathering Blue, and Messenger together in a satisfying way. I do like the strong family ties that Lowry depicts in the last three books, an element which the community in "The Giver" was intentionally lacking. I'm looking forward to the upcoming movie of "The Giver," which is scheduled to hit theaters in August!
This is the story of Claire, a young woman in her teens, who lives in the dystopic community we entered into in The Giver. As the story unfolds, we find that she is the birthmother of Gabriel, the young child that Jonas rescues at the end of the first book of the quartet. Themes of the love and longing of motherhood are portrayed beautifully and powerfully in this book. Ms. Lowry draws us into her world, a world that mingles reality and fantasy in subtle ways, and makes us look at our own world in a new light.Lois Lowry has a true gift for writing books for young people that explore profound and difficult themes in effective ways. I read The Giver,Gathering Blue, and Messenger as a young person and loved them. I still love them as an adult. This last book of the quartet struck me in a particularly vivid way since I was reading it as a young mother myself. But I wonder if I would have connected with it as well as a younger reader.Each of the three sections of this book - Before, Between, and Beyond - struck me as curiously distinct in tone and emphasis. By the end, though, the three sections - and the characters of the four books in the series - come together for a beautiful and satisfying ending. It's a more neatly wrapped conclusion than what I've come to expect from the other books of the series, but I found myself enjoying the finality and closure that it gave to the stories of the characters I've come to love.
