If you remember back to when I did my review on The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, you probably remembered how I did not recommend the book instead of wanting everybody to read it. I would like to do the same on not recommending the book The Giver by Lois Lowry as it the hardest plot to follow compared to any other book I have ever read.
I did not like this book because the society in the book was utopian and hard to follow and there was absolutely no resolution in the book. In fact, the book ended with him riding his bike and then the book just ended. This frustrated me because I wanted to know what would happen to the main character, Jonas. The whole plot was hard to follow as their was not much explanation and description throughout the entire book.
No offense, but do yourself a favor and do not read this book because there was no theme, a confusing plot, and there was no point in reading because there was not a resolution. When I read a book, I like to have a nice resolution so I can reflect upon reading. In this book however, no resolution was present so the book left me confused and puzzled on what I had just read. In conclusion, I would rate this book a 2/10 so I hope you take my review into consideration.
I remember reading this book for an assignment in 8th last year I also think that the book had a bad ending and no point.
