I'm reasonably certain that Lois Lowry wrote this after overhearing two potheads discussing their great philosophical ideas from inside a massive cloud of smoke.
-What if evil was, like, a dude?
-If you could trade, like, 40 years of your life for anything you wanted, would you do it?
-Oh dude, I think I can actually feel inside your brain. Like I can feel your thoughts, dude.
-I bet a dude who was, like, really evil would smell evil.
-I could beat that evil dude with just good thoughts, man. Good vibes.
-My mom is creeping me out, dude.
-I got so high last week, I tried to climb the rock wall and fell and almost broke my legs.
-We should go to the pet store and get a bird, man. A cool bird.
-Babies are like biology factory products. We're all just machines that make themselves, man. If you could take a pill to, like, remove all your emotions, that's how you'd see it. Just products, dude.
-I bet everyone really, deep down, has some sort of superpower. Most people haven't discovered theirs yet, though.
-What if, like, we couldn't see colors? But then one guy could see colors. That guy would be fucked up.
-Fish are cool.

not everyone had superpowers - only few did and those few were main characters. Jonas did which was the whole point of the book and Kira did which allowed her to survive. Thomas and Jo were brought for their powers too. Matty was a Healer and Gabe had powers which was one of the bonds between Jonas and Gabe. Claire, however, didn't have powers. She was a regular person led by her motherly love to her son.
I laughed so hard at this review, because it felt relatable, somehow.
