alyshadeshae 's review for:
Gathering Blue
by Lois Lowry
My full review is here on my personal website. I'll post a few excerpts here, though:
5.0 out of 5.0 stars
The very worst thing about this book is the way Matt, and a few other characters, speak. I realize that their manner of speaking and their behavior is supposed to be indicative of their upbringing and help show just how different their area of the village is from the main section – or the “good” section, to use the term lightly, but it’s still annoying to read.
The very best thing about this book is how different it is from “The Giver” and how similar at the same time. This world is less repressed, but is no less cold and uncaring. It’s unfortunate that it’s representative of what our world could be.
