Thumb ups or Thumbs Down: Williams vs. Yusef


I just got finished reading YuYu's book review on the Giver and I couldn't disagree with him more! I loved the Giver. I thought it was very thought provoking and it had a twisting surprise, which, left me with mixed feelings. This is what I think a good book is suppose to do! YuYu seems like he wanted the ending to give you an answer, but come on, Yuyu this is not an elementary book!!! I think it was a good move on the author's part to keep us wondering.
I will agree with parts of your review; I found it slow moving in parts, but when you find out what is really happening in this society, didn't it even stir up any interest, in that, some things were very controversial?
