Review: This book was good for more advanced readers. The plot andcharacters were hard to understand. Most of the characters could notsee color. The plot developed slowly. If the civilization was explained, the book would be more understandable. I was astonished at the end when...

Summary: Wow...
Review: I have read this book 4 times, and I like it even more each time I read it. I was drawn in by the characters and the story. It is an orginal book that I think everyone should read at least once. I gave my copy to my Dad to read, and he loved it. It is not strictly a children's book. I think anyone would appreciate it.

Summary: wonderful, with a terrible ending
Review: This book is about a 12-year-old , who lives in the ultimate communism. He is chosen to be the giver, and recieves memories from when there was alot more freedom. He decides he has to change things. When it looks like he might do so, the book just stops, like they left out the last 25 pages. It's terrible.

Summary: My review of The Giver by Lois Lowry
Review: I read this book for my children's literature class. It dealt with in depth issues involving our society, such as euthenasia, individuality, and more. The book has some very in depth issues so I would not recommend it for anyone younger than 10th grade. As an adult and a mother I thought this was an excellent book. I think even an adult could get a lot out of this book. I commend Lois Lowry for her effort to deal with the tough issues that face our society today.

Summary: Interesting.....
Review: Lois Lowry did a wonderful job of creating the perfect utopia in her book. I shudder to think of a place that is as blind as Jonas's(the main caracters)community. The book begins, explaining the plot, and most of the main caracters. Later on in the story a gifted man, who Jonas calls the Giver is introduced into the story. A interesting, yet wonderful book.

Summary: I liked this book. because it was different from others.
Review: I thought this book was great! I liked it, because the peoplenever fought. The kids' lives were pretty easy. Jonas got to seethings that he has never seen and things other people didn't want to see again. Jonas' family got to keep Gabriel for a while. At the end of the book Jonas got to snow and in one of the memories the Giver gave him. Five things I didn't like about this book was the people couldn't see in color, they couldn't go to another town. If woman had twins, the one that didn't weigh very much was killed, everyone was told what to do. The children didn't get toys like a bike until they were a certain age. Any one that likes sad stories that end in a happy situation would like this book.

Summary: My personal review of "The Giver"
Review: "The Giver" deals with information about the twelve year old boy Jonas who lives in a future society. In my opinion the book wasn't as exciting as other books i read. Although the story was very fascinating and interesting in the second part, the first part of the book is written very boring. Nothing interesting happens there. When the ceremony is over and Jonas starts his training and receives the memories, "The Giver" becomes more and more fascinating. So coming to a conclusion I would say that it's a average written book with a well thought story
