A friend tells me that reading the final companion book The Messenger will tie it all together for me, so it's on my to-buy list.

The 3rd book is really the one that ties the overarching story together and focuses on Matty, who was probably my favorite character in the books. Messenger doesn't answer all the questions, but I thought it did a good job in wrapping up the main storylines.Erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989928376595084149.post-18850997001591643732011-04-16T10:40:45.888-04:002011-04-16T10:40:45.888-04:00I think there is a copy of The Giver floating arou...I think there is a copy of The Giver floating around here.
