Great story! Lowry has built a very believable world, and the writing just sucks you in! My only objection is to the open-ended ending. But then, would I have been satisfied knowing that the ending was one way or the other? ha! This book is about what makes us human, and so of course the ending was quite appropriate. :)

I was again torn between two stars - the 4 or the 5. I loved this book. I haven't read a book like this in awhile. Liked it a whole lot! ...more
