Eric Boutilier-brown evolvingbeauty — Apparently this is a book for kids, but as it came out when I was 22, I did not read it as a kid. I wish I had. It shows how safe our lives would be if there were no (physical or emotional) pain and nothing to complicate life--safe and unimaginative and flat and meaningless. Many people take this as having a political message, but, IMHO, it has more of an emotional message than a political one (but perception is what makes things interesting and leads to many differences in the world). I don't see it as speaking of a world of "Sameness" brought about by some government imposition; I see it as a community of people who collectively (at one point in their history) decided that society would be better without differences which would lead to disagreements, bullying, wars, pain, etc. The world we see in The Giver is the society that evolved out of a world much like our own. And, just like in our society, we see a people that have beliefs that are not questioned because it has always been that way, a world of black and white--leaving no room for nuance, real respect for differences, or change (of course, our society is not at the extreme of the one presented in this book; we do have many people who question). One thing I have seen over my life is the pressure in our society to "fit in" and be just like everyone else. There is so much marketing aimed at making people not think independently; even some "news" organizations are merely spewing propaganda and fear to keep things the same. This book shows the dangers of losing ourselves, even for the "benefit" of all. It speaks in a simple language kids can understand, and prompts them to think and to question--which is important if we are to have any real dialogue about and develop respect for our differences.

Casey Bennett casey3photo — If you like contemporary/historical fiction hybrids, then I think this one will grab you by the heart and never let go. Even though the lead character, Lauren, can be a bit tedious at times, her development into a more mature and self-assured young woman will reward your patience and compassion.

Enmanuel Hernandez enmanuel — yay! What another good book!
