The Giver

I am reading The Giver by Lois Lowry. At first I hated it, but when I got to chapter ten, it started to get really good. This is probably my favorite book that I've ever read. Here's an excerpt from the back of the book.

Jonas's world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the Community.

When Jonas turns twelve he is singled out to receive special training from The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now it's time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.
