Loved it
MixedI liked this I love seeing my favorite stories visually but I don't think that this offered anything new to the story ... I liked it but it doesn't compare it all to the book The Giver
Loved itI adore Lois Lowry's The Giver it was the first dystopian book I ever read back in sixth grade it's one of the few books that I had to read for a school English class that I actually enjoyed
