Having read mainly adult dystopian fiction, I found this to be very shallow. While the concept and premise were refreshingly new, the execution (mainly of the second half) was a huge letdown. Firstly, I can't seem to understand the logic behind their 'plan'. Secondly, what happened to everyone in the community, assuming they have received all of those memories? I think this would have been way more interesting to hear about than Jonas and Gabriel finding 'our kind of civilization'. (This last part could also be read as a 'dream' of Jonas', which would be even more of a poor excuse for an ending, in my opinion) I also find it hard to believe that those enterily different 'ways of life' could coexist. And how could their be no animals at all in the community, not even birds flying overhead, if there wasn't some kind of wall/shield to seperate them from the rest if the world? In conclusion, I appreciated the concept but had a lot of problems with the execution. Speaking of execution, it would have been interesting to know what happened to people like Jonas' father who killed all of those innocent after receiving memories of 'love'. I can't even begin to imagine the psychological tourture they must have undergone after realizing what they had been doing. So, at least this book made me think.
Es hat mir gefallen und sogar dazu geführt, dass ich heute Nacht (nach der Hälfte) nicht gut geschlafen habe - was eigentlich sonst nie passiert - nicht wegen Büchern oder Filmen. Aber es hatte etwas subtiles, das mir tiefer ging, als gruselige Horrorfilme. Es ist der erste Teil einer 4-teiligen Dystopie. Ich bin gespannt was noch noch kommt und vergebe erstmal vorsichtig drei Sterne. Der Grund ist, dass das Buch mit 200 Seiten doch recht kurz ist und für meinen Geschmack alles etwas schnell geht bzw. oberflächlich bleibt. Vielleicht muss man alle 4 Teile zusammen nehmen - das weiß ich noch nicht. Gefallen hat es mir jedenfalls, aber es hätte (nach bisherigem Gefühl) etwas ausführlicher sein dürfen.
I really hoped for it to get better as the Story went on, but unfortunately it didn't. I really liked the ending and the last parts of the book though.
