Hi, 65.35.170.xxx! Pleased to meet you. Just a couple of words of advice:

You may find wikipedia:How does one edit a page useful
Don't insert line breaks in the middle of paragraphs, generally - they'll show up oddly on different browsers.
make sure none of this material is copyrighted elsewhere, for instance copied from another's web page.

Enjoy editing! Lowry sounds like an interesting person. -- April

If each book is to be awarded a separate article, a brief encapsulation of the themes of each group of novels would give the reader a better idea of Lowry than raw lists and isolated article fragments. --Wetman 2 July 2005 19:30 (UTC)

hey this is x64x64 i kinda thought that the story was boring in the beginning and then it got really strange. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.158.47.3 (talk) 10:47, 17 May 2006

vandalism

This page has been vandalized a couple (several?) times... maybe the page should be locked or the culprit banned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Servesup153 (talk • contribs) 22:25, 20 November 2006

I agree! The history doesn't lie, in this case I think that even a little bit of action is definitely necessary. BlueStarz 01:37, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(religion)

If anyone could find out what religion she is could someone please post or edit this page. i have been wondering about it because of the names she uses in here books and the topics of others. please and thank you.

Birth Place

She said in a NPR interview that she was born in Hawaii. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.33.28 (talk) 17:07, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. This article gets vandalised so much, it's hard to keep it straight.--Alwpoe (talk) 19:27, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If there is any objection to the book, let's talk it out. Lowry is an important young adult writer. In all fairness, it should not vandalized.Keravnos (talk) 19:41, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ya one thing I noticed is how it mentions two different islands of birth on the page. could someone figure that out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.119.53.116 (talk) 00:46, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Giver

Hello everyone. I've been following the discussion. The controversy about The Giver has partly to do with the fact that the book is taught in the 5th and 6t grade, way too early in my opinion as an English teacher to be teaching this book. Keravnos (talk) 19:39, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The giver is possibly the best book she has ever written —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hi freak (talk • contribs) 21:16, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

If someone has definite information about how this author pronounces his name, it would be nice if you could add a guide in the first paragraph. Thanks. – b_jonas 23:00, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's ["l@U.Is "lau@ri] = /ˈləʊ-ɪs ˈlaʊərɪ/ apparently, or something close. – b_jonas 19:12, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where is she now??

Hi every one, could anyone edit this and say where she is living now please? Thank you!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.47.229.78 (talk) 22:54, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Look at her official website, with ongoing blog, personal photos, etc.-71.174.183.177 (talk) 14:54, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I moved it here because it is redundant where it was cited, for the date of birth only. I suspect that it has been used elsewhere, so here it is for the hero who undertakes to check. --P64 (talk) 01:19, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
