Loved this book. A classic and a must read. I am giving this to Sally for Southern Cross!

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Off to Ms. January!

Received yesterday - thought I had registered it but bookcrossing has a mind of its own :)

oh gosh - not sure I like this new bookcrossing.

this book was very good. At the beginning, it was a little confusing, but it all folds out it the end.

Taking to meet-up, if no one selects it will release around Casuarina Square

Picked up from our meetup

A great read! I read this in a few hours ...just as well it was the weekend as I didn't want to put it down

Am taking to the meet up ...if no one takes it I will leave near the cafe

Apparently I didn't journal this when I picked it up....bad amber!!

It's a perfect world, where everything looks right. But ugly truths lie beneath the surface…

It is the future. There is no war, no hunger, no pain. No one in The Community wants for anything. Everyone is provided for. Each Family Unit is entitled to one female and male child. Each member of The Community has their profession carefully chosen for them by the Committee of Elders, and they never make a mistake.

Jonas, a sensitive twelve-year-old boy, had never thought there was anything wrong with his Community, until one day. From the moment Jonas is selected as the Receiver of Memory at The Ceremony, his life is never the same. Jonas discovers that The Community is not as perfect as it seems. Although they appear to have everything, they are missing something of great importance. It is up to Jonas, with the help of the Giver, to find what long ago had been lost. And so Jonas embarks on an adventure to save the world as he knows it.

Beautifully and simply written. Loved it.
