    Heerlijke nieuwe wereld door Aldous Huxley (chrisharpe, afyfe)
    chrisharpe: I see I am in a minority but, although the idea behind the book is a good one, The Giver struck me as quite clumsy. A much more effective exploration of similar themes is Huxley's "Brave New World".

    De Hongerspelen door Suzanne Collins (writecathy)
  5. 150
    Sintel Stad in het duister door Jeanne DuPrau (FFortuna)
    FFortuna: The Giver is much darker, but are similar in premise.
  6. 176
    Eeuwig en altijd Tuck door Natalie Babbitt (_Zoe_)
    _Zoe_: Another children's book that manages both to entertain and to make you think. These are two of my favourites.
  7. 110
    Uglies door Scott Westerfeld (KamTonnes)
    KamTonnes: Uglies and The Giver both portray societies that limit conflict by having very specific rules, roles, and expectations for everyone. Also, in both stories, the main characters slowly start to question the values of their respective communities.

    Vlammen door Suzanne Collins (jessicastatzer)

    Matched laat je niet meer los door Ally Condie (Trojanprincess, frankiejones)
    Trojanprincess: The two worlds seem similar in the way that every aspect of their livee are controlled.

    The House of the Scorpion door Nancy Farmer (jbarry)
    jbarry: futuristic take on biomedical ethics and mindbendingly complicated relationships

    Wij door Yevgeny Zamyatin (chrisharpe)
    chrisharpe: Similar themes, We is a lot better written.

    The Owl Keeper door Christine Brodien-Jones (wordcauldron)
    wordcauldron: Similarly brain-washy story about a controlled society and how the government tries to suppress the talented people who could break it all down and bring freedom and individualism.

    BookshelfMonstrosity: In these riveting, suspenseful and thought-provoking dystopian novels, 12-year-old boys learn from inspirational figures about the true nature of their repressive societies: Jonas, from the elderly Giver; Luke, from another hidden -- albeit, more privileged and knowledgeable -- "third child."… (meer)

The Giver is a good book for readers aged 12 and up due to it and mature content.The Giver" by Lois Lowry is a dystopian novel set in a seemingly perfect society where everything is controlled and regulated to maintain harmony and sameness. In this community, emotions, memories, and individuality are suppressed in favor of stability. Twelve-year-old Jonas is chosen to be the Receiver of Memories, a role that exposes him to the painful truths of the past and challenges the conformity of his world. In the classroom, "The Giver" can be used to spark discussions about ethics, social justice, and the power of memory and emotion. Teachers can guide students in examining the parallels between the novel's dystopian society and real-world issues, encouraging critical thinking and empathy.

This story follows Jonas, an eleven-year-old boy, in a futuristic society that has eliminated all pain and suffering in the world. He is given his job at 12 to be the towns new receiver, to keep the community from making the same mistakes of the past. He goes on a journey learning memories and eventually leaving the community for a new life. This book would be great for older grade school students and middle schoolers, for a book project or personal reading.

Molto bello, consigliato da leggere anche da adult! ( )
  CRN-Books | Apr 13, 2024 |
Classic for a reason. It is a good introduction to some hard ideas, such as the importance of suffering in our lives and what could happen if a society attempted to eradicate it, self-sacrifice, the importance of individuality and choices.

It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened.

His mind reeled. Now, empowered to ask questions of utmost rudeness- and promised answers- he could, conceivably (though it was almost unimaginable), ask someone, some adult, his father perhaps: "Do you lie?" But he had no way of knowing if the answer he received were true.
We really have to protect people from wrong choices.
But everyone would be burdened and pained. They don't want that. And that's the real reason The Receiver is so vital to them, and so honored. They selected me-- and you--to lift that burden from themselves.
Jonas did not want to go back. He didn't want the memories, didn't want the honor, didn't want the wisdom, didn't want the pain. He wanted his childhood again, his scraped knees and ball games.
Sometimes I wish they'd ask for my wisdom more often-there are so many things I could tell them; things I wish they would change. But they don't want change. Life here is so orderly, so predictable-so painless. It's what they've chosen.
