Review of 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry

At the age of twelve, Jonas, a young boy from a seemingly utopian, futuristic world, is singled out to receive special training from The Giver, who alone holds the memories of the true joys and pain of life.

When I started reading this amazing book I was astonished. The community in the book was as scary as it was thrilling to read. The people who live there and their rules are very different from ours, and the fact that nearly nobody noticed the difference between a dystopia and a utopia was shocking. This book made me question reality and the way we live, and I actually wondered if our future could be like this. I liked the way the author told the story too, by making us realize everything more and more until the ending. I definitely recommend this book to everyone.
