  The Giver

  Read the book three times since my first time reading it in 3rd grade. A great book with a lot of though provoking concepts within. I'm usually not a fan of science fiction but this book was written well and has a very interesting concept behind it.

  Love, love, love this one!! I read this in my teenage years and several times afterwards. This is a book that I will probably read and re-read again and again. I love it.

  Every once in a while a book comes along and shakes you to the core. This was the case for me.
  I don’t give it 5 stars just because it is not executed as fully as I would have liked.
  I think it’s a book worth reading for all generations.
