The Giver, By Lois Lowry
Synopsis: Jonas' world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the Community. When Jonas turns twelve, he is singled out to receive special training from The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now, it is time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.
My Review: THIS BOOK. I had been meaning to read this book for a long time, almost everyone I know had read this book when they were younger and I thought it was time for me to hop on the bandwagon especially since they're making a movie adaption that is coming out soon! This book gave me so many different emotions, I don't know whether I loved it or hated it. It was written beautifully, Lois Lowry really made me feel like I was in this world, and felt like I was being newly introduced to these memories and emotions like Jonas was. BUT I also had some problems with this book, the fact that at the end it just randomly ends left me in disbelief and so many mixed emotions. This book is very short and for the most part I think that everything was condensed nicely in the few pages that was given, except for the end, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. UGH.
