    1984 door George Orwell (cflorente)
  2. 181
    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)

    Sintel Stad in het duister door Jeanne DuPrau (FFortuna)
    FFortuna: The Giver is much darker, but are similar in premise.

    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
  11. 40
    Wij door Yevgeny Zamyatin (chrisharpe)
    chrisharpe: Similar themes, We is a lot better written.

This was a great, thought-provoking read. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars was that my logic-oriented brain couldn't wrap my head around some of the supernatural aspects: WHY couldn't they see in color? HOW did he get the memory that turned out to be a future event? I just felt that there were a few loose threads I would have liked tied up more clearly/neatly. I listened to the book, and the reader was good. ( )

Jonas, is an eleven year old boy from a futuristic world that has eliminated things like hatred, fear, and pain. In this futuristic society everyone looks and acts alike, so there isn't prejudice or competition to divide people. When a member of society turns 12 years old they are given jobs that are in line with their talents and skills. There is several issues within the book that can raise conversation that teachers or students can discuss. Highly recommend reading this book.

Jonas is a twelve year old boy living in a future world where specific job training is assigned to each person at the age of twelve. Jonas, however, is chosen to receive special training from The Giver. The Giver is a mysterious man who is the only person who has memories. Readers will follow Jonas as he learns more about the past and watch how this knowledge impacts Jonas's decisions. This is a great read and readers who love "The Hunger Games" or "Divergent" will love this dystopian read as well. ( )

The giver is a wonderful story. It helps to show people what a dystopian community could look like. But by doing this it can also give people information on a dystopian community and government. ( )

Having seen the Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep film, I felt it important to read the book. Unique in various ways, the author's view of the future is one that stands apart due to the monotone in human behavior. No robots or aliens, a world of correctness instead. Driven by a humanity theme, it raises questions. Will we dispense with emotion and replace it with rules? Will all things unique and visionary be cast aside? Will love be an unknowns emotion? Fortunately the movie adaptation runs very close to the book with lots of visual embellishments. I found it odd our library classifies this as a children's book, though Jonas, the protagonist is only 12. Regardless, this is a great story, well paced highly recommended. ( )

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

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.
