Book of the Week

MESSENGER
(April 23, 2012)

I really love the way Lois Lowry writes.  I love her style and what she chooses to write about.  Her concepts are always deep and meaningful.  I love that.  I don't love her endings every time, though.  This book would have been SO GOOD had she not stopped writing it in the middle.   The plot was intriguing and different.  The character development was going so well, and then...nothing.  It is as if she ran out of time or energy to finish this book and all of a sudden it just ended. There is so much more to this story that I felt was left unanswered.  But maybe that was the point...I don't know!
