I was not particularly fond of this book, although the end did draw me in a tiny bit. The book focuses around a young boy named Matty who lives in a Village called... well, Village! It takes place a few years after The Giver. Matty lives in Village with Seer, an elderly man who is blinded, but is named Seer for his ability to 'see' more than others. Matty discovers a mysterious power he withholds. There are many conflicting events in this novel. One of which, Mentor, a school teacher who has always been a friendly and welcoming man, trades something of himself that is incredible and will change him forever. It is Matty's job to stop all the madness that has become of Village... but nothing will compare to what you will rad at the end. If you like The Giver, you will probably like Messenger. I did not like The Giver, therefore, i did not enjoy Messenger. But everyone is different! Try it if you'd like!
