content: The Giver was an odd book. The beginning was terrible but the middle and most of the end was interesting at times. At the end of each chapter something happened that made you want to read more. I wouldn't reccomend this book to anyone who likes lots of action and thrills, because The Giver hardly had any. Also, if you don't like to think a lot while reading, this book is not for you. There are also a few deaths, so if you get upset easily don't read this.
