The Giver

imgres-1Here’s a famous cover, The Giver. I was recently assigned to read this for school and just finished it. It was great! I’ve been a fan of the movie for years now, but the book is great too! Now, ultimately I prefer the movie, its more my style, intense. The book is AMAZING though. Five star worthy. The book is about a boy named Jonas, he lives in a “utopia” Notice the quotation marks, there important. So in this “utopia” there are pros and cons, like just about everywhere. For example here are some pros: theres no crime, no discrimination and no one is poor. Some cons are: no animals, no feelings, no freedom of choice, and no color. Yes, no color. Thats why I put utopia in quotation marks, because in reality its a dystopia, or a utopia gone wrong. Jonas becomes a receiver of memory which means that he recieves all of the memories of times like ours, war, poverty, and much more. As I mentioned before this book deserves five stars.
