Summary: The best book ever written!
Review: Before reading the Giver I had never read a book over 100 pages, after, I read one a week! It was a real page-turner. My teacher assigned it to me to read before the end of the semester (4 weeks) and I finished it that night. I recommend it to anyone who has not yet found the "fun" in reading. This book changed my life, now I enjoy reading rather then thinking of it as a chore. A must for anyone who likes a story that makes you think.

Summary: The Giver
Review: The Giver is a fictional book which takes place in a (location unknown) utopian society. The main character is Jonas. Jonas is raised in this society by his father, a nursery worker, and his mother, a Department of justice worker. At the "Ceremony of 12", Jonas will be assigned a job, in which he will do for the rest of his life. When Jonas is passed by all the known jobs he is told he will be the "receiver". His job is to receive the memories of all that's real, color, sun, snow, love, war, and death, from the "giver". He will eventually replace the giver and in time pass down his memories to a new receiver. The people in the utopian society don't expirience color and other things we do.(..). The Giver is a great action as well as mystery book for all ages. The plot is well written and the characters are well developed.

Summary: Review for The Giver ( i guess uh.... one thumb up?)
Review: This is a pretty good book. Our class of 7SR just finished it. i think Lois Lowry should write a sequel, because the ending is like so NOT clear to me and probably isn't for a lot of other people who read this book. Did anybody else in the world, besides my class, find like 1,000 sameness's for this book and "I Am David" by Anne Holm? well our class (of 7SR) would like to know if Lois Lowry borrowed any i deas from that book.

Summary: I could not live like this! Very thought provoking!
Review: The Giver is a futuristic tale that demonstrates to the reader a possible approach to a utopian society. It clearly illustrates that the loss of freedom in such a society is a trade off for "perfection." Creativity is a threat instead of valued. Longevity is inappropriate. Thinking is not allowed. This book is an outstanding tool for the individual reader and the middle school classroom. The projects and discussions are endlessly possible, completely the opposite of the existence of the people who populate this novel.

Summary: No one is perfect
Review: The book is worth reading because it has excitement and mysterious. It can inspire the readers who grew up learning that everything is perfect while it is supposed not to be. The age does not matter only if you have courage to face challenges.

Summary: The Giver
Review: The Giver is a very suspensful book. It is a great book forall ages. I would reccommend The Giver to be put on a requiredreading list. It will intrigue you from the very first page to thevery last. The author did a great job keeping the reader interested throughout the whole book. The Giver is about a boy named Joanes. He lives in an ideal world. There is no pain, no worries, and no memories. Each person is assigned a certain role and that role is carefully chosen and well thoughtout . Each member in the community has to work in that job until they enter the house of the dead. When Joanes is twelve years old he is assigned the most important role in the community. This role requires power, strength, and courage. This job also requires pain, and emotional feelings Joanes may not be ready for. When Joanes receives his training the world in his eyes is now seen in a different perspective. His world is no longer a perfect world. Joanes now realizes all the things and choices he is misssing out on. This explores human's desire to live life to the fullest whether there are good things like pleasure and happiness or bad memories like war, hate and death. Joanes realizes he is no longer happy and decides to do something very drastic. This decision could deeply impact the society Joanes lives in. After reading this book it made me think in an entirely different way. I realized that even though I do not get to do whatever I want, I still have the freedom to make choices, and ultimately I can choose my own path. It helped me appreciate my world for what it is, and realize that in order to feel true happiness, sometimes it is necessary, as happened with Joanes, to feel pain, sadness, worry, and uncertainty. This book is the first book I have read that touched me to this extent. I hope many other people read this and get to experience what I have experienced.

Summary: one of my favorites...
Review: 'The Giver' for me was a perfect book, and I've read it over 3 times. The ideas of a utopian perfect society have been expressed by many authors, but Lois Lowry has created a vivid image to go along with the words. 'The Giver' will remain one of my favorite books.
