When Books Become Movies... discussion

Are you going to read The Giver? What did you think? Post your thoughts here. I read it early this week and I really enjoyed it and it's messages. I can see why it's a classic and I thought the world and especially the character of the giver were intriguing. I know there are more books (although centred around different people), but I still feel this books could have been quite a bit longer. I don't think I got enough. See my full thoughts soon on my goodreads page review.
