I think the point of this book was to be kind of weird. You aren't supposed to LIKE the way this society is set up, and you are supposed to find it wrong and cruel. That's what's so great about this book, because it makes you think about what it means to be human, what you would give for independence and human rights. That's why I personally loved this book but you are perfectly welcomed to hate this, goodness knows I've hated books others loved. He he. Everyone has different points of view. :)

PREACH WOMAN PREACH.

If you read it with an open mind you might like it better.

[[deleted user]]

Maybe... if I find time.

[Anna]

Good. ;-)

How can you hate this book?!!!

[Anna]

I know right! This is one of the best books I have ever read!

[Derek]

Real easy to hate, the writing was completely lame and the story-telling average at best.

Someone who understands.

See here's the thing. I NEVER HATE A BOOK. When I hate a book... that is pretty bad. I love these kinds of books, but the way it was written was horrid. If I hate a book... that is a really bad book XD

[Anna]

I think so too!

****SPOILER ALERT**** for the book Son by Lois Lowry

In Son the story is told from a different perspective, from the birth mother who had Gabe. It is really interesting and i really liked the book. It is a slow moving book, but is you push through 30-40 pages in the middle it gets really good.

You are my new favorite person right now. Hello, fellow member of the fandom!

[Alexis]

i really liked this book

[Julia✨]

If you didn't like this book , the second one is even worse

[Beckett]

I felt it was a good story about all the evils in life. My only dislikes are that it was kinda short. But I did read it in two days so maybe that's just me. And that people do terrible terrible things. I went into shock at the end of this book. It was written well and it is about the horrible things people do so in that sense A+

My fundamental problem with the book is the suggestion that running away from injustice is a better choice than fighting it.

[Journey]

Ok but what exactly did you not like about it? You can't say you hate an entire book based on a couple unimportant and small events. why would you say you want to punch the author? Why would you feel such hatred for someone who created something, who created an entire world on paper? Anyone who gives the time and creativity to write an entire book should never be punished for that.

[****Kelly*****]

I really love this book but I didn't like the rest of the series except for Son which was REALLY GOOD. I was surprised at how much I liked it but I think it was best as a stand-alone.

Worst dystopian piece I have read so far! All the positive reviews for this novel trumped my reading choice. I literally felt like punching the author on the face right after finishing the novel.

Hmmm

[Michele]

I thought it was boring.

[Preston]

While I did not enjoy it I don't see why you think it was so terrible. It wasn't all that bad.

I'm sorry, but this is a rather...unintelligent way of going about an opinion. If you wish to make a critical review, you can make points and use sentence structure instead of throwing a fit. Your "points" appear to be based off of that you found the book not to be of your taste in genre, not the overall writing skills. By reading the book and this review, I can assure you that, no, the book was not awful, it was simply in different taste due too it's dystopian nature.

I was so dissapointed when I read this book, this story was better as a movie....I believe it's because of how the colours are represented in the movie, which was one of the things I loved about the story. Sadly, the whole discovering colours and feelings (such as love) was badly described in the book.
I'm still giving book 2 (Gathering blue) a try.

[Maddie]

A good book and series!

That is a very good point.

I'm just curious, wasn't the purpose of the protagonist running away with Gabe to prevent him from surely being killed. The other purpose was to break the barrier, as shown in the book and movie. Was that for them to escape their deaths? I believe the purpose of this "escape" was simply to protect Gabe.

The book has deeper meaning look between the lines.

[Avery]

I read it for a book club. I like how creative the story is, but it's also kind of dull. I like the sequel a lot though.

[Elle]

So I read this book cause my friend absolutely loved it, and at first it sounded kind of good, but then I just got really annoyed,but I forced myself to finish it, cause that's just kinda the way I am, but I really hated the ending, I mean really?!?!
