What I like about the giver
what I like about the novel is that it has nicely detailed expression of events and feelings. This is an example of a very creative imagination of futuristic society. We realize the importance of our memories in our lives, sad or happy.
What I disliked about the giver
The book could benefit from some illustrations. The story could have more action.
