  3. TheDivineOomba recommends Truesight by David Stahler Jr., "Very Similar Plot"
  4. klarusu recommends The Wind Singer by William Nicholson
  5. FFortuna recommends The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau, "The Giver is much darker, but are similar in premise."
  6. afyfe recommends Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
  7. jbarry recommends The house of the scorpion by Nancy Farmer, "futuristic take on biomedical ethics and mindbendingly complicated relationships"
  8. chrisharpe recommends Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, "I see I am in a minority but, although the idea behind the book is a good one, The Giver struck me as quite clumsy. A much more effective exploration of (see more) similar themes is Huxley's "Brave New World"."
  9. Nikkles recommends The Unnameables by Ellen Booraem
  10. infiniteletters recommends Skin Hunger by Kathleen Duey
  11. KamTonnes recommends Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, "Uglies and The Giver both portray societies that limit conflict by having very specific rules, roles, and expectations for everyone. Also, in both stories, (see more) the main characters slowly start to question the values of their respective communities."
  12. infiniteletters recommends The Dubious Hills by Pamela Dean
  13. writecathy recommends The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
  14. cflorente recommends Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
