Dabi, also known as Dabz, reviews 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry as part of a 100-book challenge. Initially hesitant due to its cover and perceived age, Dabi was convinced to read it after hearing it read aloud. The story follows Jonas in a seemingly perfect world where everything is controlled, but he discovers deeper truths about his society. Dabi discusses the book's utopian and dystopian themes, reflecting on the lack of choice and emotion in such a world. The book is recommended for its adventurous and thought-provoking nature, appealing to all ages and winning the Newbery Medal.
