Surprising. Wonderful. ( )seemed like more of a morality story or thought experiment than anything. Short read. Probably I was expecting something much different than I got because of just coming off the Hunger Games. [b:The Hunger Games|2767052|The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)|Suzanne Collins|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1293504845s/2767052.jpg|2792775] I really liked this book. It was a fun read. This is a great book about a young person growing up in a strongly controlled world. As he learns more about the extent of the control, he begins to explore freedoms and experiences that he never knew existed. This is a great story about growing up, taking responsibility for yourself and being okay with your actions and their consequenses. The story of a young boy who is given an extraordinary amount of responsibility. Jonas is becoming an adult, and his community has chosen him to be the Receiver of Memories. As the story unfolds, the reader and Jonas come to understand the burden of being the Receiver. Joans and the Giver of Memories devise a plan to change the world and release the memories to the masses. This book is an instant classic. I pushes the imagination, and invites readers into a futuristic world that isn't pleasant. I like that this book pushes the boundaries as far as what is appropriate for children. I would recommend this book for an older audience, 5th grade and up. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension Har som instuderingsbok
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0440237688, Mass Market Paperback)In a world with no poverty, no crime, no sickness and no unemployment, and where every family is happy, 12-year-old Jonas is chosen to be the community's Receiver of Memories. Under the tutelage of the Elders and an old man known as the Giver, he discovers the disturbing truth about his utopian world and struggles against the weight of its hypocrisy. With echoes of Brave New World, in this 1994 Newbery Medal winner, Lowry examines the idea that people might freely choose to give up their humanity in order to create a more stable society. Gradually Jonas learns just how costly this ordered and pain-free society can be, and boldly decides he cannot pay the price.(hämtat från Amazon Thu, 23 Sep 2010 01:14:30 -0400) Lowry's unforgettable tale introduces 12-year-old Jonas, who is singled out by the Community to be trained by The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of true pain and pleasure. Now it's time for Jonas to receiver the truth. (sammanfattning från en annan utgåva) |
