Perfectfor teenagers 12-16
My name is Lucy and I am 13 years old. I absolutely love this book. It provides great messages to all teenagers. It made me believe, that though i am weak, that shows that i am stronger than others.

Could be better.
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.

Not a fan.
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.

Okay, but Doesn't Live Up To Its Full Potential.
This book was okay. I think the story was an excellent, creative, and awesome idea, but the way it was written made it a bit dull. I also don't understand why people call this the sequel to the Giver. It's completely different from that book.

perfect to show kids how society truly is
Love it. i read it before my son, and i thought it would be a good book to show him that life isn't what it looks like.

Strange but Amazing!
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!

Actually, it can look the Giver square in the eye
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.

 
Thought-Provoking
This book was very thought-provoking, exploring the possibility of a downfall of civilization, rather than a future full of amazing technologies. Younger kids might find the ending disappointing, as we never really find out what happens. However, older children should recognize that the ending was a stroke of genius, leaving the reader to figure out what happens on their own.
