Now a major motion picture! The Giver, the 1994 Newbery Medal winner, has become one of the most influential novels of our time. The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. This movie tie-in edition features cover art from the movie and exclusive Q&A with members of the cast, including Taylor Swift, Brenton Thwaites and Cameron Monaghan.

my review about The Giver

The Giver is that kind of book that everyone must read, this book gonna tell you about the story of Jonas and his live at the (utopia) community, which is a perfect and neat community without a trace of disorder. But then, everything changes after the ceremony of 12!

now my personal story with this book:

Well, everything started when I was 17 on my last year at my english course and my teacher Letícia give us this book, which I'm really grateful for her and to all the teachers that I had and the free course/institution for given us the opportunity to learn this language (and the book). That time I couldn't read a single page without getting headaches and then unfortunately I dropped the book, a spent an entire year without reading anything (2019), so at the beginning of the pandemic (2020) I was so bored that I decided to read mangas, but I was so frustrated to wait for a portuguese translation that I started to read mangas in english. Another year had passed and here I'm in 2021 (🙀😱) looking to all my "to be reads pile" and then I decided to give a try to "The Giver", I was so SURPRISED and HAPPY that I could read the entire first chapter without looking for new words! Really, the experience was so satisfying!
Even though I took a long break, now I know it was necessary, I needed the experience reading mangas and webtoons before. btw I'm grateful for everything and for all the things I passed with my english learning journey. 💕
