What Members Thought
In a post-apocalyptic world, everything is geared towards sameness and decisions are made for everyone. From the children parents "receive" to the names they are given, to the jobs they will hold. Til when they are "realeased". Only Jonas is special. He is to be the new "Receiver" of memories. He will hold all the pain of the past for the community. The Giver is the current receiveer who passes all these memories to him. Only this time, they decide it is time for the community to learn pain and

I remember my 6th grade teacher reading this book to us in class. It is now 12 or 13 years later, and The Giver is even more potent than it was then. I really cannot believe the society we live actually recommends this book to children. I can't believe my 6th grade teacher read this to us. But I am happy she did.

When I picked this up I kept feeling like I'd read this book many years ago. I could not remember it for the life of me so I read it again, and yes, I did read it years ago and it was a lovely book then and still is now.

Other than a basic plot outline, all I remember out this book is that I HATED it when I read it in fifth grade. I was quite disappointed, because based on the subject matter I had really expected to like it. Maybe I should give it another try one of these days.
