How do you like the theatrical interpretation of The Giver? Would you like the other books in the series made into movies?

More Answered Questions

Amy Baker
Amy Baker asked Lois Lowry:

Why would you write Jonas' dad with a capacity for compassion when he brings Gabe home and breaks the rules by finding out his name, but then switch character when he kills the twin and votes for Gabe to be "released"? This feels like a deus ex machina to create an urgency that justifies Jonas' next acts. How do you see the character of Jonas' father and why did you write him this way?

Rachiel Soliz
Rachiel Soliz asked Lois Lowry:

What did you see in society that prompted you to write The Giver?

Victoria S
Victoria S asked Lois Lowry:

I read The Giver this year, and I loved it.. :) In the last years, a lot of dystopic books had been released, what do you think about the "boom" of dystopian novels?... Have you read some of this new dystopian books/series? and if you did,, which one do you like the most?..
