Summary: A book that will make readers use their total imagination.
Review: As a teacher, I am always looking for books that will make my students want to read. The Giver has never failed me. This book should be read aloud with younger students (4th & 5th grade) so that some of the issues can be discussed together. The reaction that I get from this novel is always enthusiastic. Students bring to this book their own experiences and knowledge. They become very opinionated by the end and everyone has their own version of "how it ended". One of my very favorite, so much so that I hope Lois Lowery writes a sequel. ( And maybe a movie to go along with it!)

Summary: This is DA BOMB!
Review: Let me start by saying that in the fourth grade I ask the school librarian what book she recomended. She told me The Giver. I didn't really want to read the book, so I told her no. Then, three years later, seventh grade, my teacher told us about The Giver, and it sounded really cool. I read it in two days. I couldn't put it down. I was so overwelmed with the book I kept telling my mom about the book. She had no clue to what I was saying. I LOVED this book, and I'm really sorry that I didn't take it in the fourth grade when I got the chance.

Summary: My favorite book, STILL!
Review: I am 15 years old and I read the giver when I was 11. It remains my favorite book, and sometimes, I just read sections of it now, because I love it so much! It is an example of how Lois Lowry "thinks outside of the box". It is creative and thought provoking and definately a must read.

Summary: Thought provoking -- a great conversation starter
Review: I read this book when a controversy arose about it at my son's school. I wanted to know what all the uproar was about. I feel the story is extremely thought provoking. Wouldn't it be great to live in such a "safe" world? Or would it? My son and daughter both said they'd rather live with some troubles as long as they had freedom. My belief is that Jonas found Utopia...and it was our world...imperfect as it may be.

Summary: The Greatest Book I Ever Read!!!
Review: One day in school I had nothing to read so I looked around and I saw this book sitting on the shelf called The Giver. The name interested me so I picked it up and started reading it. I only read one paragraph and I knew I should've read it, so I did. This book inspired me so much I couldn't stop reading it. Every spare minute I had, I read the book. When I finished, I couldn't sleep that night very much. I kept thinking of the book, and I couldn't stop. So I read it again. I suggest this book to anyone, everyone. And once you have read it don't stop reading, keep going. Jonas, age 12, is a very brave young man, no one could ever replace him. He goes through love, death, starvation, pain, color, and even more that no one in this book has ever experienced. So go ahead and read this book, you won't regret it!!!
