A review by read_n_wright
The Giver by Lois Lowry
5.0
My first time hearing of this book was through the goodreads list "books that everyone should read at least once" which I've been slowly working my way through.
After a bit of a slow start I became increasingly invested in this world but realised to my dismay that it would be too short for a satisfying conclusion. As it stands, it left me with much to consider regarding the importance of individuality and emotions.
I wish it were at least twice as long as I was so interested in how the author would resolve the many societal issues that where brought up in this book and ultimately I was left with many unanswered questions which is not my favourite. I prefer neat books.
