Review by Nick Y.
Who would like this book? I recommend this book for children 9 or older. The theme is pretty dark and the community in which Jonas lives in is very creepy, although it may sound normal at first.
The goods on this book: Jonas is becoming a Twelve, the year you get assigned your job. A Twelve is when you become an adult, and the time for promotion is soon. On the promotion Jonas is assigned the job as Receiver of Memory: What could this mean? Jonas didn’t understand. The job assigner explained to Jonas that this job is at the highest respect, although it is a very painful job. A very painful one indeed. What is the Receiver of Memory? Who is The Giver? Read the book to find out!
The details: 180 pages; 1993 Review by Nick Y.
