A Goodreads user asked Lois Lowry:

Hi! My name is Glynnis, and I'm a huge fan of your books. Since the movie for The Giver just came out, my question is pertaining to that. I know the movie gives more closure at the end than the book did. Is the ending showed in the movie approved by you? Was it fabricated by the directors or is that the way the story actually ends? Thank you for your writing; I have enjoyed your novels from a young age!
