Son

De: Lois Lowry

Narrado por: Bernadette Dunne

"They called her Water Claire."

When the young girl washed up on their shore, no one knew she had been a Vessel. That she had carried a Product. That it had been carved from her belly. Stolen.

Claire had had a son. She was supposed to forget him, but that was impossible. When he was taken from their community, she knew she had to follow. And so her journey began.

But here in this wind-battered village Claire is welcomed as one of their own. In the security of her new home, she is free and loved. She grows stronger. As tempted as she is by the warmth of more human kindness than she has ever known, she cannot stay. Her son is out there; a young boy by now. Claire will stop at nothing to find her child...even if it means trading her own life.

With Son, the two-time Newbery Medal - winning Lois Lowry has spun another mesmerizing tale in this thrilling and long-awaited conclusion to The Giver.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Claire's story stands on its own, but as the final volume in this iconic quartet, it holistically reunites characters, reprises provocative socio-political themes, and offers a transcending message of tolerance and hope." ( Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

Nice series

An interesting story set in a semi dysfunctional world. If you let yourself be drawn into the story, there is much to consider. Would recommend this series to all.

The righting brings you in to the story with the characters

The whole thing was so good I loved every minute of it very well written

Great conclusion to the series!

Loved the storyline and how it brought the characters together from the other 3 books! The only thing I wasn’t crazy about unfortunately the narrators voice. I liked the narrators in the other audio books but hers just had a tone and quality in my opinion didn’t suit well for this book.

Loved this book

I loved this whole series, however, the giver has always been my favorite book so I am very biased.

Worth your time.

Great story and amazing narrator. Even my kids got interested in this story. Heart warming end.

Great end to a great series

This book is a lovely end to a great series. it's definitely worth the time. Sections 1 and 2 are excellent. The third section was less interesting regarding Claire but it's great to know what happens to Gabe and Jonas.

This book!

This is why you read the series! You get hooked with The Giver. You read Gathering Blue and Messenger. This book is why you read the series!! I loved it!

Good story bad ending

This story ties all the books together. It is a good story, but it (like most of her books) leaves me wanting more.

Perfection

There is little else to say. Lois Lowery delivers, and there narrator captures every nuance of character beautifully. A joy to listen to...again!

Interesting Conclusion

I have always loved The Giver. I still read it to my children every couple of months or so because of the timelessness of the book, but every single time I read it, I always found myself wondering what could have happened to the baby, Gabe? The idea of not having an ending bothered me.
This book was such a fantastic ending to the story of The Giver, Jonas, and the strong baby, Gabe, but also to Gabe’s mother. The story is beautifully written in the way only Lois Lowry could, and now, after all these years, I can finally say I no longer wonder about my very favorite book with my very favorite characters.
