Title: Didn't work for me
Review: After looking at all the rave reviews...it must be me. But, "The Giver" fell flat for me. I really really like the beginning and I liked the world that was created, every body so polite and all. And then you find the bad things behind the curtain. In fact I liked the polite world so much that I wouldn't object to ...the bad things behind the curtain, that make the society possible.The latter book was so unsatisfying, like how could there be no sun, but stuff grows, and how could there be no color?This book has a great story idea, unfortunately it doesn't flesh out.PS I especially liked the dinner scenes where each member of the family has to politely wait for other family members to share their day and then they comfort each other! Great stuff!
