Title: dark, sick, demented & depressing...
Review: The Giver was one of the most dark, sick, demented & depressing books I've ever read!It's amazing to me that the publishers would think this type of book would be suitable for "young readers." It was unnerving to read about the euthanasia of infants in the story and also the suicide of a little girl was just plain sick!I was very upset that this was required reading for my twelve-year-old son. I wish authors and publishers will come to realize that you don't have to have darkness and death in a book to provoke thought and emotion. Books with a light subject matter can be just as entertaining! Overall if this book was written for an adult audience I wouldn't have a problem with it. However being that it was targeted towards youths, it was totally inappropriate!
