I loved this book when I was a kid. I think I first read it in third grade, and I read it countless times throughout the rest of elementary school. In fourth grade, we read this as a class and had discussions and wrote papers on it. Re-reading this book as an adult, I can see why this book is often ...
The Giver is a beautiful story, gracefully told by Lois Lowry. After having trudged through so many of the teen dystopian sagas of late, it was really nice to read this book - not that it paints a cheery picture for us, but because it is told in a much different way than the others. With them, we ge...
If Brave New World and Ayn Rand's Anthem had too much to drink one night and started flirting and then started more than just flirting, and 1984 was invited to the party but mostly just watched, and How The Grinch Stole Christmas wandered over now and then to pound on the door and ask if they could ...
Pretty intriguing at first, especially since the author starts with describing the community in normal terms, only adding little odd elements now and then to make us realise what's wrong with it. It also casts appropriate vibes of "this seems like a good place, but...", quickly leading to question w...
Esta historia se siente extrañamente inconclusa. La idea en la que se basa me parece muy interesante, pero no está bien desarrollada. Es demasiado simplista. Hay un mundo donde nadie ve los colores, escucha música ni tiene sentimientos; y en ningún momento hay ni siquiera una referencia a como suced...
v=I still consider this book to be the only good book I've ever had to read for school. If I'm being truthful, I haven't read this book since I was young, but I still consider it to be one of my favorite books. So, in honor of the movie (which I am very excited to see!) I decided to write up a revie...
Synopsis: Jonas's world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the Community. When Jonas turns twelve, he is singled out to receive special training from The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the...
Interesting take on a Utopian society in a world where things are very complex and the situations are not your run of the mill normal. This was far better then I expected it to be and something I would recommend if you are just starting to get into the dystopian genre and want to just dive into that...
This was a great surprise. The Giver had been recommended to me many times, but I just picked it up now because the movie is coming out and I'm very glad I did. You can tell why this book is so important in terms of what we currently see as YA dystopian novels. Lois Lowry does an excellent job wi...
I think if I had read this book as a youth (which is the age this book is written for) I would have really loved it. In fact, it feels a little unfair to rate it as low as I have simply because I am reading this as an adult. I've read a great many teen dystopian books, and I can only imagine what it...
