I must be honest, I have not read Lois Lowry's books. I have only read the synopsis of the stories and of her life's events.
It looks like she's seen much loss. That her experiences have led her to think more about how people interact with each other and how we should interact with each other towards betterment.
I get the impression in her later books' synopsis that she feels when people isolate themselves from what made them what they are, and what they are a part of, they trick themselves into thinking they are true and have the right to judge what is wrong and what is right.
But instead they are losing touch with understanding others. Sameness appears not to be the path to perfection. But instead a forsaking of understanding and learning. An allowance of ignorance to define ourselves, which not only stagnates our potential, but carries it's own momentum of self destruction.

Hmm, I only read "The Giver".

But I could only say it was Incredible^_^.
For a 13 Year Old, Amazing.

Though not a Fan of Books, I was forced to Read "The Giver".

She has a Great Imagination filled with Deep Emotions.
Fear and Happiness was Greatly Mixed together in such wonderful Story.
Brilliantly Thought and Written^_^.

She and that Book deserves the Award they Recieved.

Though it is Obviously Fictional it was somwhat Believeble and Realistic.
As if it was really a Life of a Person in a Different Dimension.
Emotions were Greatly revealed, and seen.

Wish I was Helpful^ ^.

I read the giver when I was 10 and it was a good book. I also did a report on it.
