Summary: Lowry's GIVER Gives Something To Think About
Review: Before THE GIVER, Louis Lowry had shined with her Newbery Medal winning NUMBER THE STARS, as well as with the comical ANASTASIA KRUPLINK, but this shows some new talents that she seems to have mastered.

How the story IS is the oddest thing about it-- Jonas's town seems almost perfect to him and his family and friends, where standered rules are manners, never lying, never having more than two children per "family unit", etc. Also, it is a world where at the Cermony of Tweleve, each tweleve year old is given lifetime job that is assigned especially for them. And so Jonas watches his friends Asher and Fiona be picked for a especially chosen assignment, and one by one every Tweleve. But when she get's to Jonas's number--nineteen--the Cheif Elder skips it, leaving the crowd to wonder until it is announced that he is chosen for something special, that could make him a better person, or that could make him the saddest and most thoughtful person in the town, or yet something that could turn his life to bitterness forever....

Summary: The Giver
Review: I recommend The Giver by Lois Lowry. I would recommend this book because it was very different from all the books I've read but also very enjoyable. Did you ever think you would be in charge of your tower when you turn 13.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Giver
Review: This book was one of my favorite books. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire way through. It is about a boy and what happens to him when he receives the most important job in the tower. If I recommend any book it would be this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Giver is thought provoking
Review: I thought that the The Giver was a new perspective on life. They all fell no pain or love. By the way my english teacher came up with a funny commercial. It goes like this.......... there is screams in agony and the you hear a baby crying. The doctor runs out and sets the baby down. Then he carries the birthmother out. He starts talking to her, and next you hear a bell. He starts jumping and says "It's time to make a baby! It's time to make a baby! It's time to make a baby!" We all thought that that was really funny. Anyway....... the book was good and made you come up with some questions about your life. Hope you enjoy(ed) the book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: lessons
Review: I recently wrote an essay on this book. My topic was about how there can never be a perfect society. Our society today isn't great but if we force away the bad things then the good things will go with it. Just like in the Giver. This bookgoes very deep and I would not recommend it to anyone under 8th or 9th grade. this book is really an adult book written so that a 5th grader could read it.(despite the newberry) This is a really meaningfull book and I like it very much.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!
Review: This is one of my favorite books of all time! I think it is so interesting how they describe the feelings and the way they all live. It is a very descripitve book. This book is not for everybody though. Sometimes it can be confusing and hard to understand. I think it is a very good book but you have to be an advanced reader to enjoy it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Giver Rools
Review: Well the Giver,I found a very good book Because You Put Allot of Things That Don't really happen in our kind of communnity. But in some countries have a comunist community like jonus's. The only thing that i don't like about the book is the ending,you could have told us if jonus and gabe died,frozen or even made it to elswhere.

You did a great job on the book and you put allot of detail into the book.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: A wonderful piece of literature.
Review: I think that this book is fabulous. It is compelling, and shows a whole new outlook on life. it has a lot of deep points in the book, I do not reccomend this book for immature readers. If you don't have a lot of life experience, you will not understand this book.
