Review by Lee T.
Who would like this book? I think the targeted audience is people ages from ten to fourteen.
The goods on this book: The Giver is set in a town in the future were everyone but a person named “the Receiver” is oblivious to the past. The government controls everything people know and even see. Jonas, the main character, is selected to be the new Reciever. He knows nothing about the past, but he has to learn about it. Also the government took away the peoples’ abilty to see color. When Jonas see color, he thinks he is going insane. Every thing Jonas knows is nothing compared to what he is about to learn.
