The boy and the Giver 11 April 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is the best i've ever read,and even though i've read it 100's of times since it was given to me 7 years ago it still holds me in a trance. It contains more knowledge than Harry Potter and deaper bravery than The Lord of the Rings. This book is about breaking boundries and overcomeing ostacles. Jonas is in a bleak world of no feelings, colour or choices, when he is chosen to become the new Reciver he is scared of what he will become and what will be come of him, but he strikes up a remarkable friendship and love for an old tired man, The Giver. As the Giver transmitts to the young boy memorys of before sameness, then together they relise things must change, for better or for worse. Anyone who goes through life having not read this book will never realise how wonderful this world is and even 1 person however young, with determination can change the world.

Can you imagine a world where everything is the same? No colour, no music, no hills, no history. This is Jonas' world - where no-one knows when exactly their birthday is, and when children are assigned careers at twelve, without any choice in the matter. Do you think it would be safer? That's what Jonas thought, until... If you want to expand your horizons from our own world, and see how Sameness could rule, then read The Giver. It'll be worth it!

The book "The Giver" is an interesting and exciting idea of how the human race could live. The story is easy to understand, but without reading it, the reader could not guess what it is about, or what will happen next and that is what it makes so exciting. The charakters, especially Jonas are descriped so detailed, that the readers are able to understand his feelings and to see Jonas's world out of his point of view. This book is not to compare with other books, it is a story, that shows what it means to live without feelings. VERY RECOMMENDABLE !
