Review Detail

Reading The Giver by Lois Lowry right after reading 1984 by George Orwell made the book extremely interesting as the characters  both have very similarly structured lives.  The only difference would be that the people in The Giver are happy with their lives.  I loved the book and only wished that it had gone into more detail and was longer so that key ideas in the book could have been further elaborated on.  It is definitely a book I would consider reading again.  I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in reading about alternate realities or societies different than what they currently live in.  It is a great book.
