Write a Review for The Giver

The Giver
Lois Lowry (1993) , 180 pages
In the Giver people are born at the birthing center, assigned parents and a name and eventually assigned a job and a spouse. This is not the case for Jonas. When he turns 12 he is assigned the rare job of the receiver of memories. He get's happy things like love, color, and family. He also suffers though. He get's war, loneliness, and death. He decides to run away and find a community where things like music, and sledding on snowy hills. This book had a wonderful story but a terribly disapointing ending. I do not recommend this book to anyone who hates bad endings.
