Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 3057 comments "Messenger" is the masterful third novel in the Giver Quartet, which began with the dystopian bestseller "The Giver, " now a major motion picture.
Matty has lived in Village and flourished under the guidance of Seer, a blind man known for his special sight. Village once welcomed newcomers, but something sinister has seeped into Village and the people have voted to close it to outsiders. Matty has been invaluable as a messenger. Now he must risk everything to make one last journey through the treacherous forest with his only weapon, a power he unexpectedly discovers within himself.

Princess Godoy (bookishcess) | 1063 comments @Tayla this is my problem with the quartet, they are not giving us the continuation of The Giver, they're giving us this companion novels that I think isn't that necessary.


Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 3057 comments Yeah I am about half way


Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 3057 comments Dond


Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments I'm running soooo far behind.. Over booked myself for the first week of the month for sure.


Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 3057 comments this one is only 160 pages it was really quick. I am really behind too. I just finally got to my december reads lol


Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments Finally started.. Yay it's about Matty! So this must take place about 10ish years after the last one.


Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments 21% (view spoiler)


Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 3057 comments 8 years! Good guess


Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 3057 comments Rachael wrote: "21% [spoilers removed]"

yup :D


Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments All done - UGH.. I couldn't agree more Princess.

I wish they would just do one story from where the movie left off forward.. Instead we get these bits and pieces of this dystopian world. I don't feel any closer to finding out the details behind this world even after this book. I gave this book a 2.7 rating and may only read the last book in hopes of getting answers.


Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments Matty was my favorite character from book #2 so I was excited about this one! But I was a bit let down


Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 3057 comments shall we plan son?
