A review by stellashaughnessy
The Giver by Lois Lowry

dark mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

read this book at a pretty young age (grade 5). looking back, i probably shouldn't have read it so young, but this book was an introduction into some of my earliest years of dystopian fiction (ie. hunger games, divergent, maze runner, etc.). a really interesting read.. would recommend!
