This book is called The Giver by Lois Lowry. The reason I chose this book was because when I read it I thought it was set up in a very interesting way. Every time I started to read this book I couldn't set it down one bit. I found it interesting to read about how people can live in such a completely different life and so separated form the rest of the world.
The Giver is about a boy named Jonas who is told about the secrets of a different life then the one that he actually lives in. Right when he heard this it started to change his thoughts and everything else about him. He then starts to get frustrated because of all the memories that were available to him then the rest of the community itself. The giver of these memories helps Jonas escape from his community, taking the memories with him, and hoping that all of the memories will leave his mind and be lead into everyone else's mind in his community.
The quote that I chose represents this world and how everything in this world whether its humans or animals means something. The author mentions this quote "How could someone not fit in? The community was so meticulously ordered, the choices so carefully made." It made me question that if this world was so perfect there is not a chance that anybody couldn't be perfect even if they tried.
This book was a very inspirational book making you want to read more until it's finished. From a total of 5 bicycles I would give it a 5. The reason I chose to have bicycles as my picture for the rating system is because in the book he took a bicycle toescape from his community. One bicycle would be for just the book itself, one would be for wanting the readers to read more of the book, one would be because it has a good philosophy on life, and the last two would be because it was very interesting to read about someone in an opposite kind of life.

Edden,
Why did you choose to read this book originally? Also, why did you choose bicycles as your rating icon? I'm glad you liked this book. Do you ordinarily like this genre?
Great review Edden. I understand why you used bicycles because the means of transportation in the setting. If you enjoyed this book like i did, you should check out Gathering Blue and then Messenger, the books that follow Jonas, Gabriel and an exciting new character.
