Overall rating
What I liked about this book is the plot twist all over the book as when the giver states that Rosemary the failed reciever was his daughter. The book was very intresting also in which how they controlled the community. In this book we are introduced to many characters also. What I disliked was that the book was a little bit freakish on how they preformed realses and the whole realese process.
