I believe Gathering Blue my Lowis Lowry was a wonderful book. However, when compared to The Giver, it is no good. Personally, The Giver was a much, much better book and Lowry has mistakenly downgraded.

I can't even get into this book, I hate it actually. I don't think there is a good plot, my child was trying to read it for a book report and she excells in all of her classes so it wasn't too hard, so I decided to try it. The plot of this book is very difficult to follow. Nothing is explained at all. I do like the message that is in this book, but I don't like the plot at all.

i hate this book soo much i think it makes no sense i hate it

My name is Micha and I am 17 years old and my opinion on this book is very good. I think that every person should read this book sometime in there life time. It has a very good setting and detail. I would really recommend this book.

I hink that this book is boring and is not a good read.

I thought it was pretty good. It was a little sad at first, though.

Gathering Blue was an interresting novel, but a great read. This science fiction story is not one of you general reads, but it is a refreshing educational book, (ex: you should be greatful of the world that we live in) with many question and finally, unlocked answers. Strange but amazing read!

There are some books that try so hard to deal with ideas that it forgets about story (To Kill a Mockingbird comes to mind). None of the three sci-fi Lois Lowry books are like this. They deal with conspericy, deception, the future, and make it entertaining to read about. It is just the story of a girl mending a dress, but the scope is so much bigger, with her entire world slipping out from under her. The ending wasn't exceptional, but overall, great book.

its a very good book. good for kids and parents to can enjoy it
