Review of The Giver (2014) by Jeff Baker for Oregonian — 14 Aug 2014
The Giver has taken a slow route to the screen, passed by newer, sleecker dystopian novels for young adults. "The Hunger Games" and "Divergent" owe much to Lowry's worldview and style while lacking her depth.
What they have is strong female leads and plenty of action, elements absent in the spare parable of The Giver.
