I had read this in jr high, and till this day is one of the only books i can remember so much about it yet. A must read, no matter what age.

I really enjoyed reading this book, gives you so much to think about and how we do things to make everyone even and the same but yet still have a desire to know. A really great read.
When I was in 5th grade (many years ago), my teacher, Mrs. Thibodaux, read this to my class. I remember it being an excellent story and it was very entertaining, even for such a young mind. I recommend this to any reader that is looking for a wonderful story to remember for years (because I sure have)!
Newberry Medal Winner. Moving Story. Good Read!

Written in 1993, "The Giver" is an early post-Soviet dystopian novel. As the title character stresses to Jonas, the Utopia they live in was chosen and built by the residents. It is maintained by the daily choices of those residents -- with the help of effective medicines.
The book is a few hour's read but it will give you many hours of thought into what's really essential in our culture, and what you might be willing to give up to make it better.
