I looooove this book! In this masterpiece of a writing, Lois Lowry spins a tale about a twelve year-old boy living in a community where there is no such thing as love or pain. What does he have to go through in order to discover the real world? The book is absolutely amazing, and I love Lowry's way of making every section end in a cliffhanger. Don't read this book before bedtime, because you won't be able to stop to put it down.
The one downside to this book, though, is the ending. It is so hard to write good book endings, and I think that is the only think lacking the magical Lowry touch.
