Actual Rating: 4.5
Dystopian perfection! This book reminded me why I love Dystopian Fiction SO much. It was nice to get away from the paranormal and fantasy stuff and read this straight forward, created world type of setting.
I like Jonah and his little sister and I really liked the rituals aspect of the story.
I thought it was kinda odd how willing the Giver was to "rebel" because like why didn't any of the givers from back and back and back come to that conclusion?
I also thought the ending was a little... lacking. I get that it prepares you for book two but it was less of a cliffhanger and more of an open ended possibility.
