Outstanding tale of life in a state-controlled utopian world through the experiences of a 12-yr-old boy. Would make excellent "Twilight Zone" episode. Easy read. Great for reluctant young adult readers.

Currently 4/5 Stars.

This was required reading for my children for school, so I thought I should read it also. It was worth my time. THE GIVER is a very thought provoking book about a perfect world. Is it really as perfect as it seems? Is a perfect world really what we all desire?

Currently 4.5/5 Stars.

I love this book, it is such a unique storyline with a great message. Was easy to read and keep up with the story, I enjoyed it as an adult but will also be reading this with my daughter when she gets older.
