It's been a while since I've written about which books I'm reading at the moment, but today I had to make an exception. Because today I found out that The Giver, on of my favorite books of all times, is going to have a movie. And what's even better is that Taylor Swift is going to be on it!!
And look at the actor who is playing Jonas, I just can't!... And it's not going to be released until the next year, I just honestly can't wait! Btw, I just found out that Brenton Thwaites, the actor who is playing Jonas, starred in Blue Lagoon: The Awakening the past year. So now I already know which movie I'm seeing this weekend! haha.
So for the ones that didn't read this book in school, I'm going to tell you a bit about it. The story takes place in a dystopian world, and there is a perfect community where everyone is happy and well adjusted. And Jonas is happy like everyone else, but one day when he is about to get his assigned career, he gets assigned to be a giver, a very weird and unique assignment. At first, he gets afraid to be different even though everyone thinks he should feel honored. But when he stars to learn about his assignment, he learns about the darker side of his community and he starts to doubt everything he believed in.
So obviously I can't seem to convey the awesomeness of it in this mediocre summary without making it sound like every other dystopian story out there. So forgive me! haha But I highly recommend you to read it!!
