Jemma asked this question about The Giver (The Giver, #1):
Is this really the end of this book? I absolutely loved this, but people said this book was really sad. That Jonas or someone in this book died. But no one did. Is my copy missing a chapter or two?

Jonas reappears in the third book 'Messenger'. But yeah, of course it's really sad. That's how the author carries you through to the next book. But I really recommend reading the second book so you can understand what happens in the third book. (less)
