Opinion/Review of Messenger

Companion to the Newberry Award Winning book The Giver, Messenger delivers an emotional story of a boy who dared to enter Forest. Lois Lowry is the renowned author of The Giver and many other books. Messenger was an extraordinary book. While chills ran down my back, my mind swirled with thousands of frightening thoughts. Questions popped into my head with every delicate page turn. This riveting tale is about a messenger, Matty. He must journey through ominous Forest and while the path looks treacherous for Matty, he has a gift and the courage to help Village, his town.

Messenger illustrates the different perceptions that people may have which helps readers fathom this novel better. Lois Lowry hits each main point with precision and clarity. Messenger informs readers of numerous morals that will benefit readers later in life. Messenger is truly a fascinating book.

Messenger is an extremely entertaining book, keeping you awake reading it for hours and hours until you finish. You will not be able to put down this book as it will haunt you with memories of sadness in the book for days to come. I highly recommend this book to readers galore. Any reader who has the ability to comprehend this novel will enjoy it immensely. I promise you the adventure of your life when you read this phenomenal and prodigious book.

(:this sounds like the Giver, because of the things/places that look like proper nouns. are any of the characters from The Giver in Messenger? i'm curios to figure out what happens to the characters. i think that your review doesn't explain too much, and that is really good! thatnks for writing a good review!:)
