This book is very familiar to many people. The Giver was an incredibly good book that really helped me develop better answers for my big question: How does innocence and naivety color a person's personality and perceptions of life? While innocence and naivety was described and utilized differently than in the book Never Let Me Go, it was an interesting perspective of the two. It was definitely described in a negative light at times, but the book really had positive points too that helped develop my answer better and more thoroughly.
The main character, Jonas, was used to show life in a community with "utopian" ways. His naiveness of the outside world and past memories colored his view that his little world was perfect, however, when he comes to the knowledge of all that was and is not he became offended by his cheated life. It was a different way at looking how innocence and naivety can influence our lives--and perspectives.
I will always recommend this book. It was very interesting and allowed me as a reader to see a different light shed on a utopian world. I think this is a good book to read and look at.
