This book is about a young man named Jonas who lives in a utopia in the future. He has been assigned the job of the Receiver which means that he will be given all of the past memories from the town. These are memories of hurt, of weather, of colors, and many more. Jonas will need to prepare himself for the memories that will eventually cause him to see how dysfunctional his town actually has become.
I loved reading this book because I love this genre! Hunger Games, Divergent, The Giver, these books are all a part of my favorite genre so I really enjoyed reading this book. Lois Lowry does a fantastic job of painting a picture with his words and the book is full of twists and surprises.
I give this book a 5 out of 5! Everyone should read this book and there should be multiple copies in every upper elementary classroom!
