The Giver by Lois Lowry is a piece of dystopian literature. To me, this book is not casual reading. To get more out of the book, you should put yourself into the story and immerse yourself in the story line.
The Giver is about a 12 year old boy named Jonas. At age 12, the children of the community get their job assignments. Jonas is chosen to be the new receiver of memory. This job is very mysterious since there is only one receiver. As Jonas trains with the current receiver, he learns things have been hidden from him and everyone else. As the plot unfolds, Jonas and the receiver come up with a plan to reveal the truth to everybody. I highly recommend this book and rate it 5 out of 5 stars.
I had the privilege of meeting Lois Lowry and she shared her inspiration for this book. I recommend researching before or after reading The Giver how she developed the plot for The Giver. This book really broadens your perspective on many things. I wanted to share my favorite quote from The Giver:
The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.
