The Giver is a 4 part book series. The Giver was about Jonas, who lives in this weird world, where a lot of strange things happen. Each year the kids change their birthdays together and get a new initiation gift or right. when the children turn 12 they are given a job/ internship that is chosen for them by the council. When Jonas turns 12 he is given the job as the Receiver. He meet the Giver and he receives memories of things that don't exist anymore like snow, love, grandparents, and hills. Also things like war, poverty, and famine were hidden from the people to protect them from pain. He is intrigued and wants to change the way his world is viewed where people's choice is available. After working with the Giver for a year he sneaks out of the community where he lives so he can release the memories.
This was a very easy read and a good book. I thought it was weird that certain things didn't exist. How can you live in a world where there is no snow, grandparents, or Christmas. It reminded me of the Divergent series in this aspect. I can't wait to see what happens in the next one.
