The Giver Review

Hey, guys.  Today I am going to give a detailed but brief review of the Giver  By  Lois Lowry.  The world and culture in The Giver are very different than that of ours. The people in the Giver live in a place known as " The Community" where there is no pain, war or chaos. However, these people cannot see color or feel true emotions. .  The main two protagonists in the book are Jonas and The Giver and Jonas. Everybody in the community gets their " assignment"  at the age of twelve. Jonas gets the job of being the next receiver of memory and singled out from his family, friends and the community . He then goes on the journey of a lifetime and  learns the truth about everything. 

To rate the Giver on a scale 1 to 10 I would rate it... 9.2/10.  As you know I had already said it was a good book to read after THG ( The Hunger Games) . The Giver takes in a place different world then ours. but yet there is some familiar elements that we can relate to. These elements are family, pain and true happiness. I was quite shocked to learn what release ( release is a  terrible punishment, a failure, kinda like a death sentence) was. Some of the elements in this book make prime to read.  This is a must read and it can be hard to put down.

*warning: there is quite some disturbing  elements in this book. These elements are the release of the twin and the memory of war.  Some find the entire book disturbing.
 Final Rating: 9.2/10
