Rating: Summary: The Giver Review: I liked this book because it was unlike any other book I have ever read! The story is about a boy that grows up and helps his community. Some of the reasons I liked this book are that the setting is in the future and some of the ways of life that they had were prety funny to me. I recommend this book for ages 10 through adulthood.
Rating: Summary: Book Review of "The Giver"ÿ Review: I've always been a big reader. One of my favorite things to do is read. I've never really liked reading books in class, though. We never get to read any really good books. But my class just finished reading "The Giver," and I actually liked it! It was a really great book. Basically, it was about a perfectly organized community where people's choices were made for them, from simple decisions like what to wear to important choices like what career to choose. In the story the actions of a boy who is chosen to receive memories of the past, where colors and choices existed. The actions of this boy change everything for the Community. Part of the reason I liked it was because I've always liked imagining a community as perfect as the one in the story. It really makes you thankful for all the things you were lucky enough to have that didn't exist in the Community. It makes you realize that, hey, we're pretty lucky to have great things like color and families and the privilege to make our own decisions. Really, these are very important things. We just don't know how important, because we experience them every day. "The Giver" tells us that, and makes us wonder what life would be like in the Community. It opens up a whole new door of possibilities.
Rating: Summary: da giver review Review: I think the giver is a great book for any person over the age of 11.It is most interesting for the 6th and 7th grade.It involves confusing literature,tough vocabulary and a perfect world. This is about a boy named Jonas who is getting a little disgusted with the way these people live.So you should read this book and see if you have the same idea as they do for a perfect world.I think your ideas will differ from theirs!

Rating: Summary: The Giver Review: The Giver was a book that shows there is no such thing as a perfect world. It has a great moral and a great concept. I'd reccomend it to anyone. I am in sixth grade and read it as a school book. It's great!
Rating: Summary: The Giver Review: Jonas lives in his community not knowing how wonderful the world could be. As a reciever of memories he slowly gets to know the qualities that a community could have and realizes how boring and miserable the perfectly controlled community is. Now he tries to find the Elsewhere and wants to reach a better world. Apart from that, this book leaves open a lot of questions, for example: "Who created this community?" and the important one, °What happens to Jonas?" Summing up it was an exciting book and I recommend it to every person of every age.
Rating: Summary: Jennifer Schmalhofer from Germany, Dec.15,1999 Review: For me it was the first time reading an anti-utopian text and so the plot was a new experience in literature. But nevertheless I am fascinated. The Giver tells the story of a community, the story of a boy and while the reader is informed about this perfect world the boy's eyes are opened. In my opinion this book would be a nice x-mas gift for younger and older ones. The Giver is such a well written bock and so I enjoyed reading it every second.
