The Giver

Author: Lois Lowry
Buy it at Amazon
Pages:  192

Very short read.  Interesting idea.  From Amazon:

Lois Lowry’s The Giver is the quintessential dystopian novel, followed by its remarkable companions,Gathering BlueMessenger, and Son.

Jonas's world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear of pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the community. When Jonas turns 12 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.

Thinking I have read enough dystopian novels lately and moving to some other genres for now.
