📚 Had read this book in middle school "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, and I had thought it was a great read. 🤯 This dystopian classic takes you on an emotional rollercoaster through a world without pain, but also without true feelings. 🧘‍♂️ Jonas' journey to discover the truth about his society will leave you questioning what it means to be human. A must-read that will stick with you long after you've turned the last page! 💫 #BookReview #TheGiver #MustRead

One thing I'll criticize is that the actor for the dad in the movie made it seem like he was coming to a slow realization or that all along he knew what was going on was wrong. Maybe not the acting but the way the camera positioned on him and his facial expression/ the direction he was looking he seemed more human and concerned in deep thought rather than emotionless

Loved the giver, but don't get the other 2... the 4th was okish but did not see a good long story, tbh! I liked them individualy but did not see much conection between the giver and the others (only the 4th but not the end)

For those of you who are doing it for school, don't forget to add the ridiculousness of this book: 1) Back in the day there was war because people had different skin colors, so nowadays everyone is white. 2) People with blue eyes are "special" and have "more depth" than people with dark eyes. 3) The only important female characters in the book are: A) Fiona, a docile, gentle, feeble pre-pubescent "love interest", and B) Rosemary, the receiver who was too weak to take the training and gave up on week 5. 4) The book implies that to achieve equality, humans should eliminate even COLOR, MUSIC, FEELINGS, and THE CAPACITY OF EMOTIONAL MEMORY (eh? How did they even modify humans or the environment to achieve that?!), but that LOVE is more important than EQUALITY (uh?) so it's very brave of Jonas to sacrifice equality in the name of love. That's BS. Equality is not being forbidden to have a choice, it's living in a society (or "community") where no one is discriminated by their choices. The ultimate equality stems FROM love, not in the absence of it. Really don't know how this book was green lit, awarded, and ever considered to be taught in school.
