The Giver by Lois Lowry

I read this book in college. I really enjoyed the book. The ideas are fascinating and after reading the book, it is very fascinating. This book does cover some concepts that might be too disturbing for younger readers. It definitely brings to mind some great topics for a meaningful discussion. It also allows you to discuss things of the world without actually pointing to real examples. You can discuss the examples from the book. The setting is somewhere in the future. I enjoyed the story and I enjoyed the chance to really contemplate the ideas presented in the story. This book certainly deserved its Newberry Award.
