Son
is the fourth and perhaps final book in The Giver series by Lois Lowry, and I'm not sure what to make of it as an adult reader. The previous two books, Gathering Blue and Messenger, had similar plot holey problems, spoiled the ambiguity of The Giver's ending and completely changed the story universe.
I would be completely OK with the sequels if they occurred in another story universe. The Giver was so fantastic and carefully written. Unfortunately I am no longer a young adult, but I'm pretty sure that I would have LOVED all four books. But this is what ten years of art college does - it makes you pick those nits.
