"Set for August 15th release, the movie depicts a seemingly perfect community, without war, pain, racism, sickness, suffering, differences or choice, in which a young boy is chosen to learn from an elderly man about the true pain and pleasure of the real world. As the 12-year-old Jonas (Brenton Thwaites) is selected to be the Receiver of Memory he uncovers the truth behind his world's past, and discovers that many years earlier his forefathers gave up humanity in order to have a stable society. Confronted with this reality, Jonas faces difficult choices about his own life and his future"

I hated this book as a kid. I'm sorry, but making nine-year-olds read that stuff just ain't right. |

Not a favorite of mine, either, Newbury or not. It's a sledgehammer book, meaning it's all about making a point. Yes, it's well-written and compelling, but a well-crafted hammer is still a hammer, and as a reader, I have never liked being pounded. |
