   Brave New World de 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 City of Ember de Jeanne DuPrau (FFortuna)

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

6. 176
   Tuck Everlasting de Natalie Babbitt (_Zoe_)

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

   Catching Fire de Suzanne Collins (jessicastatzer)
8. 100
   Uglies de 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.

   Matched de Ally Condie (Trojanprincess, frankiejones)

   Trojanprincess: The two worlds seem similar in the way that every aspect of their livee are controlled.

    Among the Hidden de Margaret Peterson Haddix (BookshelfMonstrosity)

    BookshelfMonstrosity: In these riveting, suspenseful and thought-provoking dystopian novels, 12-year-old boys learn from inspirational figures about the true nature of their repressive societies: Jonas, from the elderly Giver; Luke, from another hidden -- albeit, more privileged and knowledgeable -- "third child."… (mais)

    The Story Box de Monica Hughes (infiniteletters)

    The Owl Keeper de Christine Brodien-Jones (wordcauldron)

    wordcauldron: Similarly brain-washy story about a controlled society and how the government tries to suppress the talented people who could break it all down and bring freedom and individualism.
