It's not a Newbery Award Winner for nothing, folks. This story makes you think. Really think. About really deep stuff, like the right of human choice and the difference from right and wrong. That kind of deep stuff.
Here's the Summery:
"Jonas's world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the Community.
When Jonas turns twelve he is singled out to receive special training from The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now it's time for Jonas to receive the truth. There's no turning back."
Don't be fooled. Even though this is a 'children's' book, doesn't mean that it's not worth reading. It's seriously deep.
