My thoughts before I started reading

When I heard we were going to read a book, I was really glad, especially when I knew it was an utopian novel. I read a lot and above all, I like novels set in the future or all kinds of fantasy/adventure.  :)


I’ve only read one book in english on my own before, a short novel, and a few stories on wattpad. These were all pretty easy to read, written without complicate formulations or difficult words. So I didn’t know if it was going to be hard for me to understand. 


Even if 'The Giver' is a quit famous book, I neither knew the novel nor the movie (which was in the theaters one and a half year ago).

By the title you can not quess anything about the story, but the blurb introduces you to Jonas, who 'seems to live in a perfect world' and hints the topics of 'The Giver' : dark secrets and memories.

I did not expect much action, but more of a story of a boy who is questioning the world he lives in.
