The Give: Essential Modern Classics : Lowry, Lois: desertcart.in: Books

Review: Fine book - fine classic book
Review: Book with very beautiful and important concept. This is a must read book for children above 6th grade - I liked it. Its a beautiful book with very beautiful and important concept. This is a must read book for children above 6th grade. But you will be little disappointed with characters. While reading the story, I felt no connection between Jonas and his family. May be its due to their community in which they are living and their lack of feelings but there were no emotions. The protagonist, Jonas, is just 12 but he was very matured and working for the greater good(this little thing which might bug you because of his age, it did to me because I was more like Lily, no idea what I was doing but definitely not saving the world). I was disappointed with other characters such as Asher and Fiona because while reading, you will get an impression that they are going to be an important part but sadly, they were cut out of the story. I had already build up some story between Fiona and Jonas in my mind but was disappointed in the end. Now, about the story, beginning of the story felt like Utopia and not the opposite, but later author subtly introduces to the reader that how s***ty their world is and how lucky you can be with not having Sameness. I shudder to think a world without colors and music, same monotonous life without any surprises. It will be a very horrible place. Story carries a very important message but it could have been much better with little bit of more emotions and more connection between characters. Its ending is ambiguous and will keep you hanging in the middle. You have to make peace with your mind by deciding whether its a happy or sad ending. Overall, a great book to read and its worth your time. Hence, definitely recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't think, just get this damn book!!!!
*by V***. on 4 June 2018*

I wasn't really willing to buy this book but I had to because of this book reading thing our school came up with recently. I didn't bother to read this book for the first few days to be honest and when I did start reading,I got pretty bored. But when you reach the 6th chapter, well, that's when everything changes. You will start releating, you will start understanding this world. You would feel completely into the novel as i did. I don't know but for some reason it broke my heart reading this . Maybe because I started to understand this world. I had no hopes from this novel but now it seems that it didn't let me down afterall. Trust me guys this book is a 100 percent must for all the guys out there searching for a book to start of with their reading journey. The language of the writer is quite simple yet very convencing.it left me speechless, uterly speechless.
