The Giver is a terrible book about nothing important. No child should be forced to read this horrendous book. Its nothing but a waste of time. Do not read this book even if a teacher makes you. This book was a terrible mistake. This is the worst book to ever exist and there are many bad ones but not as bad as this. If kids read it they will have a nightmare for the rest of their life. Nothing about it is believable DO NOT READ THIS NIGHTMARE. I wouldn't even give it one star.
