A review by mdyang97
The Giver by Lois Lowry

5.0

I have to say that "The Giver" was the novel, the one story that got me started on a utopias/dystopias ride. It's one of my favorite genres, and there's just so many books about the future out there and that continues to be written.

The story is magical, realistic, and impactful. The last scene just gets you wondering about whether Jonas really
Spoilerescaped his restrictive world for a better place or not
. The characters are raw and emotional, and you feel yourselves in their shoes.

I wasn't too satisfied with the movie remake, but that's what you get for turning a literary work into a motion picture.
