The Village is similar to a trilogy of adolescent books

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2005)

To those who say 'The Village' is unlike anything else I would have to disagree. 'The Village' is similar to a trilogy of books by Lois Lowry titled "The Giver", "Gathering Blue", and "Messenger". I am not accusing anyone of anything I just think it is amazing how brilliant minds think alike. The books and movie are not exactly alike mind you but there are several similarities scattered throughout the books. Lois Lowry has written a great trilogy of books for adolescent readers and M. Night Shymalan has created a great movie! You should all read the books and see what the similarities are for yourselves, after all the books are only at a 4-6th grade reading level.
