Overall Rating
what I liked about the book? I liked that Lois Lowry did a good job of the setting of the community Jonas lives in without giving away to many of the twist right away. my favorite part was when Jonas begins to see colors (for example with the apple), and the scenes when the Giver sends memories to Jonas.
what I disliked about the book? I disliked the ending to me it felt a little rushed into , it was a good book but the ending seem to wrap just a Little to quickly, and also when they had to kill the babies...
