** spoiler alert ** I may revisit my rating later. Right now I will go with 3 1/2 stars. Great writing. Finished it in one sitting. However this is really just a simplified and shallower YA version of the thoroughly devastating masterpiece 1984. We are spoon fed the message through "the Giver"...
I just re-read this book, for the third time and it still strikes me as profound. I can't imagine what I took from it at age 9 or 10 when I first read the book in 4th grade, I think it was, but i'm pretty sure I've taken quite a different outlook on life and matured considerably since then, as I'm...
Livre assez bien écrit, présentant un futur dystopique vraiment intéressant qui n'est pas sans rappeler Le meilleur des mondes. J'ai retrouvé des éléments classiques dans la science fiction ça et là, mais cela ne gâche en rien le plaisir de lire. La société décrite est intéressante, le rôle de dépos...
Well, it did have its shocking moments. And I liked the ending. But honestly, people are generally not that unobservant even without their memories. Speaking of that, what's the point of passing along memories in the first place? It seems like they would only be used to fuck up the so-called uto...

Man it's been a long time since I read this book. I think I had to have been in high school when my sister insisted that I read it. My work bookclub voted this as the October read. I had forgotten a lot about it. Things sort of started to come back to me as I was reading it, but damn if this isn't a...
I really enjoyed this book. At first I thought it was going in the same direction as Divergent but it became more interesting about a quarter of the way through. A boy living in a society that must follow strict rules in order to function, is given the task of being the receiver of memories. Once ...
