A review by queenbethie
The Giver by Lois Lowry

2.0

Until the last paragraph I would have given this book 4 stars. I appreciated the look at this dystopian society, the questions it raised, the paralells to the odd decisions we sometimes make in our own society, the lessons we can learn. What I didn't appreciate was the ending. The actual very ending. That last paragraph. Apparentlly I'm not educated enough (although I do have a doctorate), not a good enough thinker, or maybe not a good analyzer. The ending. I just don't get it and it ruined the entire book for me. Don't bother.
