Description

The Giver, the 1994 Newbery Medal winner has become one of the most influential novels of our time. The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. Lowry has written three sequels to The Giver, including Gathering Blue, Messenger, and now Son, published in September 2012.

Given his lifetime assignment at the Ceremony of Twelve, Jonas becomes the receiver of memories shared by only one other in his community and discovers the terrible truth about the society in which he lives.

A really terrific read. This book is ostensibly for the Young Adult market, but I was thoroughly engaged. It reminded me of Ursula LeGuin's "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas." It is a dystopian children's novel, which you wouldn't think of as being a big hit, would you? But it is. Slowly, the dark side of the "Sameness" cloak under which the community lives is revealed, and it's quite chilling. It made me think, and question. It kept me guessing, and desperately wanting to know what happens next. I look forward to reading the next book in the trilogy. Well done.

For everyone saying 'H0W DUUU I R33D DIZZ' ... visit your library. simple. I want to read reviews not poor grammar. You have to pay for books, they don't just come free with a click of your mouse, however they come free at the library for a certain amount of time... come on people.....
