The Giver
The Giver - Lois Lowry
Yet another stop on my dystopian road. This also appeared on the list of the top ten dystopian books, so I decided to give this a shot as well. It took me a while to locate it at the bookstore because I didn't realize it was considered a 'teen' book. I decided to go ahead and read through it anyway, and was glad I did.
This book details a perfect world where everything is neat and orderly, and anything unsavory is swept under the rug. There is only one person that knows the true nature of all the goings on of the town, and he is called 'The Giver'. This book chronicles the happenings in the town as a new batch of children 'graduate' and are given their jobs. The main character is selected to receive all of the memories and wisdom from The Giver, but eventually decides that this isn't the life for him.
