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.

Overrated. People in general make a big hype of this book. It was good but it wasn't that good.
The ending was shit. Did they die? Did they go back? Who knows. Overall ok though.
