In the story of a seemingly utopian city in a futuristic world, Jonas is singled out to receive special training from The Giver--who alone holds memories of pain and pleasure in life.
MY REVIEW
I like this book but hate the ending. I know there are more books to go with this one but the ending to me could have been so much better than what it is. Jonas lives in a world of order, a world that seems perfect, a world of rules and regualtions that are kept or one is released. Jonas is chosen to be the next Reciever, one who hold all the memories of the world. He becomes close to the Giver(the Reviever before him) and learns what love, pain, and happiness truly is. He learns how to see colors and learns what death is. Then Jonas becomes angry that the world he lives in is ignorant to all the things he now knows, so he and the Giver come up with a plan.
