the book sucks if u read it, and for ours yr 9 class we're studying both the movie and the book. 15 mins into the movie, we finished half the book's plot. but the ending was really good like the 2nd half was rly gud. fiona and asher's roles were wrong, but the ending was rly gud. the giver was the best character. its a very symoblistic movie. very disappointed in the book fr.
