Title: the giver- a review
Review: The Giver-a book dealing with the possible development of societies searching for perfection.Jonas, a twelve year old boy, lives in such a community,whose only aim is to achieve sameness and free its citizens of wrong decisions.Throughout his development as a "Receiver Of Memory" he finds out the faults and mistakes of the system.Lois Lowry illustrates Jonas`development very carefully and it seems as if she actually once lived in that community.The book does never seem exaggerated, it only descibes a possible way our lifes could one time look like.She includes criticism in cloning,A.I. and change of DNA in "The Giver". It is not only a science-fiction book,but also a scream for showing more feelings in our computer-ruled society of today.
