A much more effective exploration of similar themes is Huxley's "Brave New World". 150 The City of Ember af Jeanne DuPrau (FFortuna)FFortuna: The Giver is much darker, but are similar in premise. 176 Tuck Everlasting af Natalie Babbitt (_Zoe_)_Zoe_: Another children's book that manages both to entertain and to make you think. These are two of my favourites. 100 Løbeild af Suzanne Collins (jessicastatzer)100 Uglies af Scott Westerfeld (KamTonnes)KamTonnes: Uglies and The Giver both portray societies that limit conflict by having very specific rules, roles, and expectations for everyone. Also, in both stories, the main characters slowly start to question the values of their respective communities. 51 Matched : Cassias valg af Ally Condie (Trojanprincess, frankiejones)Trojanprincess: The two worlds seem similar in the way that every aspect of their livee are controlled. 40 The House of the Scorpion af Nancy Farmer (jbarry)jbarry: futuristic take on biomedical ethics and mindbendingly complicated relationships 40 Vi af Yevgeny Zamyatin (chrisharpe)chrisharpe: Similar themes, We is a lot better written. 52 Ender's strategi : roman af Orson Scott Card (ubcsfs)30 Drømmer androider om elektriske får? af Philip K.

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. His mind reeled. Now, empowered to ask questions of utmost rudeness- and promised answers- he could, conceivably (though it was almost unimaginable), ask someone, some adult, his father perhaps: "Do you lie?" But he had no way of knowing if the answer he received were true. We really have to protect people from wrong choices. But everyone would be burdened and pained. They don't want that. And that's the real reason The Receiver is so vital to them, and so honored. They selected me-- and you--to lift that burden from themselves. Jonas did not want to go back. He didn't want the memories, didn't want the honor, didn't want the wisdom, didn't want the pain. He wanted his childhood again, his scraped knees and ball games. Sometimes I wish they'd ask for my wisdom more often-there are so many things I could tell them; things I wish they would change. But they don't want change. Life here is so orderly, so predictable-so painless. It's what they've chosen. Things could be different. I don't know how, but there must be a way for some things to be different. There could be colors. | |

choosing to interpret the ending as Jonas gradually dying from exposure whilst hallucinating, it was an excellent book.
if it's meant to be a happy ending with him going off to live in Christmas land then "fuck that" magical narnia bollocks.
as I read the last chapter both interpretations seemed equally valid. I though this duality and potential confusion ended the book really well :) (
