The Giver by Lois Lowry

It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened.
Jonas lives in an ideal world with no crime, poverty, conflict, individualism or unemployment. On his twelfth birthday ceremony, he is given the job of memory receiver and finds out the horrible truths to this ideal society.

I liked the book but was not shocked by the storyline which may be more of a comment on the content of today's media and not the author.
