The Giver is a dystopian novel written by Lois Lowry. The main character, Jonas, lives in a seemingly perfect society where everything is the same and emotions are not experienced. After receiving his assignment as the new receiver, he is exposed to how fragile his community is and the true nature of the world. While training with The Giver, he learns more and more about the past. The harsh reality makes him question how his community works and what they value.
I rate this book a four out of five because it was interesting the whole time. The Giver is a classic book that talks about societal control. It was very well written throughout the whole book. Another reason I like this book is because it is not too long. I would recommend this book to young adult or older because there are some concepts that could be harder to understand.
