oooooooo... this one really makes you think in a similar manner as Orwell's 1984. Writing is at a lower level b/c I believe this is really a children's/young adult book, but nonetheless good for adults.

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 12 he is singled out to received special training from the giver.The Giver holds all.Now it's time for Jonas to receive the truth and there is no turning back.

Honestly, this is my number one all time favorite. It's not diificult to read at all and yet it is really significant and has deep meaning. It is a dystopia similar to Orwell's 1984 and it is fabulous.
