Summary: The Perfect, but not so perfect town
Review: This book was about a town where you were assigned a job. At the cerimony of the twelve you were assigned your job. Some people were painters, teachers and a very special job was given to a boy. He was the reciever of memeory. This job was painful but special. It was a honor to recieve this title. The past "giver" had to transmit the memories down. I enjoyed this book very much.. be sure to read the end!

Summary: A book of Humanity
Review: For those who have ever felt like the world was missing akeyelement; for those who have felt special, The Giver is a book abouta young boy named Jonas who recieves the truth. The society in The Giver shelters its citizens. This book shows, through Jonas' relationship with the Giver, how humanity is meant to live. Rules and government that restrict feeling, whether they be positive or negetive, is harmfull to us.

Summary: Got You Thinking
Review: This book makes you realize that in a perfect world, it would be great, but would be extremely boring. I found the book, like Number The Stars, very addicting. Even with strict rule, people will still lye and do horrible things. I enjoyed this book very much.

Summary: The Giver Review
Review: The Giver is an excellent book. This book is filled with happiness, sadness, joyful tmes, and hard times. Jona is the main character in the book. He is a young boy turning into a twelve and recieves a special assignment of the Keeper of Memories. He starts his training and soon his teacher dies. Now, he is the official Keeper of the Memories. Jona has his parents, a sister, and a new baby brother. The only thing in the book is his new baby brother isn't developing right. So they have to give him one year to see if he will develop. If not, he will be sent back and they will receive a new baby. This is a sad part of the book. When I read that I thought about how people do that. These people live in a world where there is not any pain, fear, or war. the people work together and never fight. They watch over each other. The book is very interesting. The way the people live is amazing. The kids are called by things likes eight's, or twelve's. This is like there age. They can do certain things once they turn a certain age. Like Jona's sister Lily turned into an eight and you can start to volunteer at places. Lily would like to volunteer at the nursery in the book. Her mom says only volunteer work. You aren't respected as much if that is your assignment once your get older. For Jona since he is turning into a tweleve they receive an assignment to do for the rest of his life. The world the people live in here is different, neat, and also so caring. There world is very different from ours. The world is peaceful. The people work on the assignments they are given; and they also watch and love their families very much. the Giver is an excellent book to read, and it is a good recommendation.
