I wouldn't recommend it. I'm still planning to read the others out of curiosity. My understanding is that the final book may be more of a sequel to the first one, so I'll let you know when I get to it.Lisa Ecksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469107523441985396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010942979784569627.post-68657010283926341722014-05-20T12:41:27.147-07:002014-05-20T12:41:27.147-07:00Thanks for reading these so I don't have to. ...Thanks for reading these so I don't have to. :) I'd been particularly interested in the Karen Russell one, but it sounds like I might want to skip it, as that kind of ending really bugs me.<br /><br />I just read "The Giver", which I also expected to end very differently (in terms of wrapping up various things) and was somewhat dissatisfied by despite enjoying most of the book. Have you read the others in the series, which are described as only loosely related? Trying to decide whether to read more.laurenhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109325640858487775noreply@blogger.com
