The Giver

The title of my book is The Giver. The author is Lois Lowry.  Other books she has written include Messenger and Gossamer. I have not had the opportunity to read them. The genre is realistic-fiction

The Giver is based in a perfect world, one without pain, nor war, nor fear. The main character is a boy named Jonas, who is picked to be the new receiver,a revered job in his village. The receiver holds ever memory for the village , both good and bad. The receiver takes every memory ,some from many years ago to provide wisdom to its people and protect them from unnecessary pain. “You will be trained to be our next receiver of memory. We thank you for your childhood”.Jonas abandons his power in order to save the life of a innocent child.

This is an amazing book for anyone who just likes to read books. A couple of reasons to read this book are one because it cool view on the human mind  and two because it shows that human behavior will break all expectations.

  1. I do agree that this book is recommended, but I would say for a different reason instead of just exploring the mind. I think this book really focuses on the importance of everyone having their own memory and uniqueness. I defiantly buy and re-read this book as soon as I find at the bookstore. Do not pass this book up if you do like books. You will not be disappointed with this book.
