    Huh. I guess my experience was better I remember reading My Side of the Mountain and The Giver, among other things. Usually pretty decent reads though.

      I read The Giver as an adult, and I can absolutely confirm it was good. I also recall the books I was required to read were pretty good, but I didn’t like them at the time because they were required.

        I always assumed that the kid and the baby die at the end, but then I guess the author wrote a second book just to make everyone feel better.
