Another take on a dystopian society where someone decided that protecting their citizens from themselves is a better way to live than allowing free choice. Another job well done.

I was taken by the positive spin this book put on the future. Then as the story went on and I learned more of their Community, I saw that I wasn't quite right. And that's where the story really takes off.

Jonas is the son of in a family unit of four. One Dad. One Mom. One Son. One Daughter.

There is no pain. There is no discomfort. There is no choice. Even your meals are chosen for you. Life is perfect for Jonas.

That is until he is given his Assignment at his Ceremony of Twelve and everything changes. Or, you could say, becomes more colorful.

I loved this book more than I could imagine, more than I can describe. I recommend highly!
