C asked Lois Lowry:

After reading the Giver series and then seeing your most recent movie, I was wondering how you felt about the interpretation of the book. More specifically how you feel about the discrepancies between the book and the movie, for example the fact that in the movie Jonas did not have pale eyes? Will this affect the story lines in future book-to-movie adaptations? Thanks so much for a great series, Lois!
