El Dador

Personalmente esta historia me encanto. Tengo que decir que no soy fanatica de los libros que se escriben en el termino distopico, pero este libro no es como los demas libros que e leido hablando futuristicamente.
El protagonista de este libro es un niño llamado Jonas el narra su historia, nos deja saber que tiene doce años y vive con su familia, sus padres y una hermana menor. En la sociedad que vive Jona el dolor, los colores, las emociones, la musica simplemente no excisten. Este año Jonas a sido elejido para ser el "receptor de la memoria", basicamente el es el que almacenara las memorias previas a esta sociedad monotonia. Y esto es necesario por si los jefes de alto rago necesitan consejos o ayuda para tomar decisiones en las que nadie cuenta con esa experiencia. Al recevir todas esta memoria tan extensa Jonas se da cuenta que tan superficial se a covertido su sociedad. Y desea excluirse de esta vida que asta ahora a vivido.
Este libro me encanto porque ves la vida desde otra perspectiva y asi habres tu logica a otras dimensiones. Para concluir este libro se los recomiendo, como dije anterior no solo por el contenido si no porque te hace ver el mundo differente si nosotros se nos quitara todo lo que tenemos y fue escrito por la autora Lois Lowry.

Between by Jessica Warman

Liz wakes up somewhere between life and death to find her lifeless body floating in the water by her father's house boat.  This is the day of her 18th birthday.  She is soon joined by Alex a classmate who had died earlier in the year in a hit and run "accident"  They figure that they are where they are to resolve something that needs resolving.  Memories of their lives come back in bits and pieces and replay for the reader throughout this story.  Until, we learn how they are connected and what is holding them "between".  Only then are they able to pass on.  Liz is, to Alex, a  shallow and self centered rich snob.  But slowly finds that things are not quite that simple.  Alex was not wealthy, did not party, certainly did not do drugs, even weed as Liz's friends did.  Richie who seems at times to be too good to be true, isn't.  Nothing is a black and white as Liz and Alex saw them when they were alive.  That is a pretty wonderful thing for a teen to discover.  A very readable book, even with drinking and drugs in it there is nothing so graphic that even younger teens couldn't enjoy this.
