2/5, nothing special
dystopia, male protagonist, young adult, own
Jonas's world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. Every
person is assigned a role in the Community. When Jonas turns twelve, he is singled out to receive special training
from The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now, it is time for Jonas to
receive the truth. There is no turning back.

Spoilers.
I liked that it was slowly revealed what these people didn't have or experience, like color or snow.
I didn't like how it kind of jumped all over the place at the end or how none of the sudden conflicts were explained or dealt with. It just was and just so happened that they could execute their plan so perfectly even with a baby.
