The Giver

I've heard this title mentioned in the periphery for years, and now I fully understand why. I was just talking to my wife earlier this week about how difficult it is for me to be emotionally effected by a book, as opposed to a performance of a story in a play, film, or television show. The last 2 pages of this book made me cry and smile with delight simultaneously. I can't believe this is a children's book. Beautiful.
