The Giver by Lois Lawry

  • Twitter summary: Jonas, an Eleven, is now a Twelve and receives his assignment in this seemingly Utopian but dystopian community.
  • The good: Lawry’s writing style intrigued me — I did not know where the book was going for the first couple of chapters but as I continued to read, I knew this ideal community is not what it seems.
  • The bad: The Release gives me the creeps.
  • Favourite aspect of the book: Jonas’ realization about the dystopian community where he was born and raised.
  • Recommendation: Yes
  • Overall rating: 4/5 Gabriels
