The Giver (#thegiver) is a 1993 American young adult dystopian novel by Lois Lowry (#dystopian) (#exploreonus)

The Giver is a very touching yet engaging and wavy-like story as it is set in a utopia. Everything is chosen for everyone including parents jobs and your significant other and the most disturbing fact is that love does not exist in this utopia and everyone acts the same way. This book has wide usage of euphemism hence I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it is one of the classics for literature for me. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves dystopian worlds, and as well as people who like a book to let them think for themselves!
