Son
by Lois Lowry
In the fourth and last book of the The Giver series we are taken back to events before The Giver even started. We are taken through the events of the first book through the perspective of a new main character. We then follow this character through new societies and back to the village of the third book. Many years have past and we see how life has changed in the community. It has a nice happy ending which sums everything up nicely, distinctly different from the ending of the last three books.
In truth I am still not thrilled with the plot development of the first book. It still does not make since to me. However, if different decisions were made then the next three books would not exist.
The writing of the fourth book was just as amazing as the first three. The storyline seemed a little more flushed out. The book was much longer in length, and gave a more in-depth look at the main character, which I appreciated. In any ways it was my favorite book of the series. Yet, it is dependent on the first three books for it to make any sort of sense.
