The Giver by Lois Lowry

5.0

I remember reading this book in high school and never paying attention to it and never giving it a second thought, but now that I'm older I'm so stunned by the ending of the book. The holding of memories to shelter Jonas and Gabriel through the last step of their journey, and I can only HOPE they both were safe, but I will not know if that's the way it was intended to end. It was such a bizarre concept of a utopian society but the reason for if was was because of a dystopian Era of time in which they were able to create a sameness within communities. I don't really have words to explain it.
