The book was set in a distopian world were everything is under control. This means having to apply for a spouse, a child and some other things. But one boy can see his world from a different point of view when he recieves training from the Reciever... or Giver. It makes more sense from the words of Lois Lowry. From that day he will never be the same phsyically and mentally.
The book was unputdownable and intense. It should probably be read by 7th graders and up because of the concepts and feelings.
For me, the book was three out of five stars because there was some slow parts, but there was also some very intense and compelling parts.
I would recomend this book for fans of the Hunger Games, the Uglies series and other futuristic books.
This is What I Think.
