Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Riney

The Giver is about a supposed utopia where everything is regulated and controlled by the "government." That means that people are assigned children, people are assigned marriages, and people are assigned jobs. This "utopia" may appear to be perfect, yet it lacks color and other things that the real world has. This story is about the young man who is to become the receiver of memories of the outside world, who realizes what he has to do.
