Title: I could not live like this! Very thought provoking!
Review: The Giver is a futuristic tale that demonstrates to the reader a possible approach to a utopian society. It clearly illustrates that the loss of freedom in such a society is a trade off for "perfection." Creativity is a threat instead of valued. Longevity is inappropriate. Thinking is not allowed.This book is an outstanding tool for the individual reader and the middle school classroom. The projects and discussions are endlessly possible, completely the opposite of the existence of the people who populate this novel.
