Reviews for Gathering Blue (2 vol.)

Rating	Comments
5	What if all modern technology vanished? What if the daily struggle for food and shelter became the utmost priority in our world? Who would be considered of value in the society that followed? Gathering Blue is a novel set in the possible future, where insular towns and villages have developed, and contact between them is almost nonexistent. In one of these villages, the reader is introduced to a young girl named Kira. Through Kira's eyes, the reader is gradually pulled in to discover the horrifying, and entirely possible, secret of Kira's world. Gathering Blue is absolutely stunning in the concepts it presents. 2011-08-13
5	In this follow-up to "The Giver," the author shows that art and the creation of beauty can't be bought or forced. The concept of not having blue but having all the other colors was so intriguing, and it was achieved so seamlessly that a reader experiences the story as Kira does--as if it's the most natural thing in the world NOT to have blue. Lowry takes the world she created in "The Giver," turns it a bit on a slant, and gives us yet another revealing, uncomfortable, and spellbinding glimpse of what happens when people take a good idea and push it to its furthest extreme. 2016-03-08
