I’ve been intrigued by The Giver since I was a kid but for some reason I’ve always been intimidated by it. When I saw this graphic novel, I thought this would be the perfect way to dip my toes into the quartet. I enjoyed it so much, and while I definitely wouldn’t have taken to it well when I was younger, I have an appreciation for it as an adult. I'm looking forward to reading Lois Lowry’s original novels!
