Jonas’ world is perfect. There is no pain, no wars and there’s no fighting. Jonas’ life is as usual, as everyone else’s. That is until he becomes the new Receiver of Memories. He goes through Pain and War and Fighting in his mind, but he also has happy memories. He wants his community to change but how? Will Jonas’ community ever change? Will Jonas use his memories to help him? Read it and you’ll find out.
I enjoyed The Giver because it makes you think. It’s an easy read, but the ideas are complex. When you’re reading The Giver you’ll think about your life and how lucky you are. The Giver has spots that you have to decide, spots that the author thought you could decide. Even at the end it leaves you on a cliffhanger. That’s why I enjoyed The Giver.
