"A powerful and provocative novel." - New York Times
"Wrought with admirable skill--the emptiness and menace underlying
this Utopia emerge step by inexorable step: a richly provocative
novel." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Lowry is once again in top form raising many questions while
answering few, and unwinding a tale fit for the most adventurous
readers." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The simplicity and directness of Lowry's writing force readers to
grapple with their own thoughts." - Booklist (starred review)
"Lois Lowry has written a fascinating, thoughtful science-fiction
novel. The story is skillfully written; the air of disquiet is
delicately insinuated. And the theme of balancing the virtues of
freedom and security is beautifully presented." - Horn Book
(starred review)
"The Giver has things to say that cannot be said too often, and I
hope there will be many, many young people who will be willing to
listen. A warning in narrative form." - Washington Post
