Herein lies the importance of creative disobedience, diversity, and the necessity of pain and raw emotion, all of which make us human. I found The Giver sometimes reminiscent of such favourites as The Handmaid's Tale and 1984, yet within a context acceptable for a child's impressionable mind. That being said, it’s all relative to your moral compass, because much like the sheltering imposed by the society in The Giver, I know many parents that would strike this book from their children's shelves in lieu of something “safer.” Embrace the ELSEWHERE!
