A review by jcnfia
The Giver by Lois Lowry

2.0

Ill informed and thinly veiled political propaganda written for children… my favorite. Honestly, it makes a lot of sense that this is so popular in America, a country that’s violently against anything that isn’t severely individualistic and capitalistic in nature. No, I don’t think I’m reading too far into it or that it’s not that deep. It’s pretty obvious. I think it’s fine that children are encouraged to read it though, because I don’t think children are connecting the dots or being “influenced” one way or the other. As far as plot goes, it was boring and predictable for the most part. Not the worst thing I’ve ever read though. At least it was short.
