Chronicle To Books Gathering Blue (The Giver #2)

In her strongest work to date, Lois Lowry once again creates a mysterious but plausible future world. It is a society ruled by savagery and deceit that shuns and discards the weak. Left orphaned and physically flawed, young Kira faces a frightening, uncertain future. Blessed with an almost magical talent that keeps her alive, she struggles with ever broadening responsibilities in her quest for truth, discovering things that will change her life forever.

As she did in The Giver, Lowry challenges readers to imagine what our world could become, and what will be considered valuable. Every reader will be taken by Kira's plight and will long ponder her haunting world and the hope for the future.

Assess Based On Books Gathering Blue (The Giver #2)

As a sequel - horribly disappointing.As a standalone - mildly interesting.Honestly, I was expecting a lot more...like the characters from book 1 to show up in book 2. I mean, there's a hint (and it's barely a hint) so I guess, it might be able to be classified as a companion novel.We follow Kira, a young teen with an almost magical artistic gift. She is forever hindered by a birth defect, causing lameness in one leg. Take pride in your pain," her mother had always told her. "You are stronger

At the age of 63, I've read "The Giver" and have now read "Gathering Blue." I continue to be impressed. I like authors who take simple elements and make a complex story out of them. There's no rich historical tapestry nor complicated interplay of personalities. This is a story that adults can appreciate, and I wonder what it would have been like to read this story when I was 12 years old. (Of course, when I was 12 years old, this story hadn't been written).Once again, it is set in a society

When looking at it separate, it is a 4 star book. Well written, well established, and brings you into this world that is different, thinks different and comes to different conclusions than you are used to...As a book two in a quartet, I am hellish confused... What? Where? When? Why? I hope it will be explained in the books to come but right now I am just confused...

I had this book mapped out in my mind. From where The Giver left off, I was sure book #2 would begin with Jonas and Gabriel surviving and finding the mainstream community, like that of our modern civilization... with music, color, and love, and then they live happily ever after. But book #2 wasn't concerned about telling Jonas's life story or a respite to what might face humankind in the future. Lowry was continuing to explore the world of a post-apocalyptic society. In this book, she has

I'm glad so many people warned me that Gathering Blue doesn't follow Jonas like The Giver did. It aloud me to fully enjoy this new story. Gathering Blue was atmospheric and moving just like The Giver, and while I did enjoy book 1 more, I still highly recommend this one too!

A quick read, that is a little confusing as it didn't seem to relate to the first book in the series.Kira has just lost her mother and the only thing standing between her and the cruel women of the village. She is crippled, and in their eyes she is just another mouth to feed. One that contributes nothing. But she does have one skill, one that may save her life.This world is very different from the one I entered with the first book in the series. People are dirty. They fight for food, keep their

In Gathering Blue , she intricately weaves a society wrought with poverty, where savagery, greed, and deceit prevail, and the weak are mercilessly shunned and discarded.Kira, born physically flawed, is destined for abandonment in the Field of Leaving. By the fierce protection and love of her mother, she marginally escapes this heartless
