🔮Hidden Depths💡Learnt A Lot🎯Worthwhile🚀UnputdownableThis is such a wonderfully written book, that challenges so many things you thought you knew about yourself and the world! The ending is so open to interpretation and the characters are well rounded and it’s such a controversy. A total must-read, and the author’s note at the end is worth a read too

Quotes
- Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted3 years ago
It is not always a comfortable thing to be the centre of so much attention and controversy. But it makes me think about what it means to be “comfortable” – the very thing that the community of The Giver had achieved at such a great price. It was a community without danger or pain. But it was also a community without music, colour or art. And it was a community without books.
Lois Lowry - Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted3 years agoI could not possibly have planned any of this. I sat down in 1993 to write an adventure story and to explore, for my own reasons, the concept of the importance of memory in our lives.
Somehow, unintentionally, I tapped into something that fed a hunger out there. - Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted3 years agoToday, as I write this, four cities/towns in the USA have selected The Giver as their “community read” – the book that the entire town is asked to read, and then – picture this, a whole town! Adults and kids! What a wonderful thing! – to discuss.
Schools across the country make it part of their required reading. Christian churches use it as part of their religious curriculum. And at the same time, countless people give it as a Bar Mitzvah gift.
