   Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (chrisharpe, afyfe)

   chrisharpe: 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 similar themes is Huxley's "Brave New World".

   The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (writecathy)

   The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau (FFortuna)

   FFortuna: The Giver is much darker, but are similar in premise.

   Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt (_Zoe_)

   _Zoe_: Another children's book that manages both to entertain and to make you think. These are two of my favourites.

7. 110
   Uglies by Scott Westerfeld (KamTonnes)

   KamTonnes: Uglies and The Giver both portray societies that limit conflict by having very specific rules, roles, and expectations for everyone. Also, in both stories, the main characters slowly start to question the values of their respective communities.

    The Owl Keeper by Christine Brodien-Jones (wordcauldron)
