Rating: Summary: Review for the novel "The Giver" Review: We think that the book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry is one of the best books we read at school. Jonas the main character in the story lives in a "perfect" community. When he was selected to be the next "Receiver of Memory", he began to learn more about the community and the negative side of the "perfect world". He realized that the situation had to be changed. The book is very well written and it`s fun to read this book. You just don`t know how this book will end. In the first chapters the novel isn't so much interesting but in the following chapters the book gets very exciting. A book for all generation because it's very interesting. It shows, that an utopia cannot exist in this world. We think that everybody has to read this novel.
Rating: Summary: The Giver/Mrs. Shea/Period 1 Review: The Giver was about a boy named Jonas and his perfect world. He had everything going great. His friends were always there for him, there was no war, and no pain at all. Everything was in peace. When he turned twelve, he was assigned a special role like no other. Jonas was selected to receive special training from an elder man, who was called the Giver. The Giver showed him things that happen in the real world, introduced Jonas to things such as snow, sleds, runners, colors, downhill, and many other things that we experience in normal life. Then it was finally time for Jonas to get the truth, so he showed him the pain and pleasure of living a "real" life. My favorite part in this book was when the "Ceremony on Twelve's." It just came around the corner. This event shows a group of children who are to turn twelve. All of the children were assigned a job. These are the jobs that they must attend to for the rest of their lives. During this event, Jonas was the last to receive a task. This part was very exciting. Overall, I think that this book was great! It had a lot of cliffhangers. I couldn't stop reading on and on. It was an extremely exciting book. I would definitely recommend this book to readers who enjoy suspenseful stories because this is definitely one. Read this book!! It's very exciting!
Rating: Summary: State of Emotions Review: A review by Kaytee The Giver is a novel set in black and white talking about the color of emotions. This book is focused on telling the world how there should be no hate, no crime, no hurt or pain. It also describes everyone being happy and living a cheerful life, as we all know, that's not how it is in this world unfortunately. A young man given the name Jonas was given the chance to become the quote on quote "Receiver of memories." As he turns 12 years old he's known as The Giver. He sees everything in a good way but realizes how much of a difference there is in the world. I didn't enjoy reading "The Giver" at all. The beginning of this book was so boring, and didn't catch my attention one bit. But as a read on and on I would get more into it. But soon enough it would lose my attention again. The beginning was a little bit strange at some parts. Towards the middle I enjoyed a lot! I think it is because that's where all the action is, and the ending, well, let's just say the author really lost me there! I think this book deserves two starts because it's that kind of book that can catch your attention at some points but others you just feel as if you don't want to read it anymore. Hopefully next time we choose a book to read I'll know its one I actually have an interest in. I strongly do not recommend this book to a young adult. I think this book should before mature audiences because he talks about injections as well as his love for a lady. I don't think that should be allowed for a 9 or 10 year old.
Rating: Summary: Fabulous Read...The Giver Review: This book hooks you from the beginning and you don't want to put it down! Every reader cheers for Jonas as he finds free will, yet your heart aches for his not being able to use it. I only gave it 4 out of 5 stars because I thought the ending was severely lacking. The conclusion came too close to the climax of the book. I just like to KNOW the ending of a book without drawing a million conclusions out of imagination. Still a must read book:)
Rating: Summary: The Giver Review: I thought that "The Giver" was a very good book. I liked it because it kept you thinking a lot and was very interesting and exiting. The part I don't like is the confusing words and sentences it uses. I also don't like how it lets you decide what happens at the end. I would have liked it a lot more if it would answered the questions that you would want to know when reading a book, like what the noises were when they were sledding down the hill and where they sledded to etc.
Rating: Summary: Review of the book "The Giver" Review: The novel "The Giver" from Lois Lowry is about a boy named Jonas who lives in a community. In the community there are no colors, no animals, no seasons and no hills. When Jonas is selected as the new Receiver he sees that nothing is so nice as it seems. He and the Giver want to change the community. And for that they plan Jonas escape. The novel is very excited and it makes fun to read it. It is an unrealistic story.

Rating: Summary: A Strange Job in a Strange World, but a Great Book. Review: I reccomend this book for the most part, however, it is kind of hard to understand this world until you really get into the book. Nevertheless, it is, no doubt, a good book in the long run. I enjoyed reading it and reccomended it to almost all of my friends, who reccomended it to a bunch of their friends, too! It is pretty neat how Lois Lowry invented this world; I don't think I could've ever thought of something like this! It is amazing!
Rating: Summary: The Giver Review: The Giver was an amazing book that really made me think about all the choices that people have made that have gone ary. In the future the people of earth have given up love, sex, color, music, and the right to choose your own job or have memories. The people each year at the ceremony of twelve which is when the children get their jobs they choose a giver. A giver holds all the memories and can see colors and hear music. Also they are the only people besides the people who perform the release to know the truth ( release is instead of death you'll have to read the book to find out what it is). The book really makes you think and can jog your mind about the future.
