I wanted to love this book. I just can't put my heart into recommending it; when it didn't provide more of the “outside” world. We are left with Jonas either dead or in another spere. We are also left wondering want happen to the community without its "New Receiver". How did the community function without him? I am left with an ache of wanting to know....

같은 꿈 ya know? suppression creates some wild excuses for natural human thoughts. i likened some of the community words to doublethink/groupthink and it was cool to use my own memories and knowledge to make sense of jonas’ story just as he was using the giver’s

like other reviewers have said, i think the book was good until the ending, which felt completely rushed. and i wasnt fond of the ambiguous ending.

The Giver is one of the only books I’ve read more than once. 3 times actually.
My grade 6 teacher read this book to my class and for the first time, i found out what the dystopian genre was and utterly fell in love. The Giver by Lois Lowry is funny, relatable, horrific and heart warming all in one book. Though the genre of dystopian stories, especially ones that border on horror or thriller, dont always seem relatable, some of the experiences that Jonah, that main character, describes can be entirely relatable for its target audience of pre-teens and teenagers.
