I am looking forward to seeing what happens in the last book when the two stories come together.<BR/><BR/>Teddy: Well, you can easily read The Giver as a standalone, but it would be nice to see what happens in the end.<BR/><BR/>Nymeth: I liked the idea behind the comparisions. I was looking at Peeps at the bookstore last night but I am going to finish the series I have on the go first. I will be finishing up Pretties today probably.<BR/><BR/>Aarti: Yeah, I didn't reread The Giver. I considered it, but didn't in the end. I don't know what it will do for me as a reread.Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-15563967906611778132009-02-14T21:44:00.000-04:002009-02-14T21:44:00.000-04:00Ohmigosh, I didn't even KNOW that there were two s...Ohmigosh, I didn't even KNOW that there were two sequels to The Giver. I loved that book when we read it in school. I wonder if I'd still love it if I re-read it now. I am always leery of re-visiting a book that was so important to me in my childhood.Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-62135978804494108462009-02-14T18:13:00.000-04:002009-02-14T18:13:00.000-04:00I like that you compared it to Westerfeld.
