The giver goes beyond the YA genre. There is no comparison to the hunger games or any other YA book. Yea it's written at a lower reading level, but the themes are MUCH heavier, almost to the point of being an adult philosophical kind of work. Can't wait for this one. And The Dude is the Giver. I can abide.

The Giver is a brilliant book, and written way before most of the newer YA dystopic fiction books being turned into films. Before Hunger Games, City of Ember, Mortal Instruments, etc – even before Harry Potter.

Are you seriously comparing THE GIVER to young adult shit like The Hunger Games? You should jump off a bridge man.

Is The Giver really a YA book?

Streep was in "A Series of Unfortunate Events", that's when I discovered how awesome she was when I was just a tween.

And that's "received" not "reseived". Carry on.

@LIZ: Give it a rest, Liz…The Hunger Games Trilogy is an excellent series and has reseived excellent reviews (the film also also was well reviewed) and it's not a contest. I recommend both series. So, enough with the bullshit…it's silly, grow up.
