  The Giver, by Lois Lowry  review by Carl K 

  The Giver is a very simple book that leaves much history or pre-story out of the tale.  It's a tale that has some rather interesting turns of events, but much of it was contrived.  It's a story of a make believe world, with no war, pain, no true feelings at all really.  That's why it's contrived from the start.  An interesting book however that is worth a go round as it's very short and easily read.  The end of the story is excellent in my mind, because it leaves so much for you to decide on your own. 

This seems to me a young persons book, and one that's trying to teach me something.  I'm just not sure what it's trying to teach.....
