Summer Reading Assignment Book 2




Another book that I read was The Giver by Lois Lowry. The protagonist, Jonas, lives in a world were everything is perfectly controlled. There are no cars, only bikes. Peoples' ages are forgotten after they become a "Twelve." During the "Ceremony of Twelve,"the new adults are given their job in the community. When Jonas is given a surprising and un-normal job, the job of receiver of memory, his life is changed forever. On the 1-5 scale, I rate this book at a 4. The storyline was great but the ending was a little confusing and the book was some-what short. I recommend this book to people who like adventure.

Very nicely done, Nathan! I have also read The Giver and enjoyed it very much. Intriguing story and plenty to ponder.
