The one book I have read by her, The Giver is amazing. It's a pretty short book, but it's also kind of odd. It took me a while to get into, but it really is an amazing book.
The setting is in the Community, where everything is controlled. There is no pain, no war, no fear. Everyone has a roll in the Community, and you receive that roll when you turn twelve years old. The only way around the Community is either by walking or by riding a bicycle. There are air planes, and cars, but in very few numbers.
The main character is Jonas, and the roll he is given is to become the new Giver. There is only one, and that person is the only one who knows true pain, and true pleasure, and holds years upon years of memories.
It sounds simple, but it's a very deep story. It's actually a part of a Trilogy. Unfortunately I've only read The Giver. But I have Gathering Blue and Messenger on my Amazon Wish List. So here's hoping!
