The Giver by Lois Lowry

The Giver is a book about a boy named Jonas who thinks he is in a normal life until Jonas is chosen as a receiver of memory for his community and he starts to see how crazy his world is. Jonas lives in a Utopia where there is no pain, no crime and no unhappiness, but on the other hand there is no love, no desire, and no music. Each year children reach a new milestone like getting bikes at nine or getting a haircut at ten. At twelve children get their assignment. When Jonas gets his job, The Giver and Jonas make a plan to fix the community. I enjoyed this book because the story has a bunch of different feelings, which makes it great to read. I could not put The Giver down. It is very interesting, and I recommend it to all middle school students.

I really liked this book because in this book it makes you rethink what you already know. Also, in this story, it has an interesting plot to it that the readers will really enjoy. I also liked how they introduce futuristic technology in this story while also providing that "down to earth" feeling to the story in which there are advanced robots and all kinds of technologies, but the story does not let that get the focus off the main characters. Overall, this story was really good, and I would definitely recommend people to read it.
