Its an awesome book. I really recommend that you guys read it. The book is by Lois Lowry and she talk about this community where everything is "perfect". There is no danger, suffering, disease, hunger, and poverty. But then there are some downsides to that communtiy. The Cousel of Elders pick the job your going to do, the person your going to marry, and the children you can have. =/ And....well...you should read it yourself. Anyone else read this book?

ive read that book its about an authoritarian society where jobs are handed out by ability and dreams are not allowed and whatnot and this kid is given the giver position where he is told about the past nobody else knows of and he realizes the flaws of the society he lives in if i remember correctly... and yes it was a very good book, i agree. The book is thematically orwellian in nature, similar to 1984 in many respects, socially critical of an oppressive authoritarian society.
