Title: The Giver

Author: Lois Lowey

Genre: Speculative Fiction

            Jonas is a boy who lives in a utopia with his mother, his father his sister Lilly and his friends Asher and Fiona. The Giver is about a utopia community where everybody is perfect. There is no color, snow, music, sunshine, hills, ext. The community’s Elders pick every thing for you like your kids, spouses, and job. There is only one person in the community that can “see beyond “, that is The Receiver Of Memory. Jonas is picked to be the next Receiver Of Memory.

            The theme of the Giver is what makes us human. As you read the book that question comes back to you over and over again. I agree with the authors theme, if we don’t have feelings then we are not human.

            I love and dislike the story of the Giver. I like how that even after you get done reading the book you still have questions about it. I don’t like their idea of “releasing” though. I would rate this a 5.0 and I would also recommend this to someone who likes to read fun easy books.
