One of the best books I’ve read in a while! Amazing dystopic commentary on a society where we keep distancing ourselves from genuine appreciation of all things beautiful in our life – as emotions, love, colours, music & literature.

A definite must-read!!♥

Making a mental note right now to check out the poet Lois Lowry’s other works in prose :)

Screw you, allconsuming, for separating almost 1,000 readers of this version from over 1,100 readers of the other version, by not having a feature to merge duplicates.

I read this book a dozen times, I’m sure, when I was younger. It is marketed for young adults but contains some pretty heavy themes. I’ve always thought of this book as quite the eye opener.

This is definately one of the best books i’ve ever read! i think i could read it over and over and over again!
