The way that this book kept you guessing until the end.

Only the fact that the people of this village were harsh.

Tell everyone to read it. And I did!

Happy that I live in the place that I live, and thankful that I have so much freedom.

Did a very good job in teling this book. She made it very emotional and once you start reading it you wil not be able to stop.

it is sooooo good!

This book is somewhat the contiuing of Lois Lowry's other book, The Giver.
