Summary: what an incredible mix of plot and philosophy
Review: It isn't very often these days that we can read a book that appeals to EVERY age group. It combines the young child's idea of a good story with an adults search for philosophy. I read this book three years ago in 3rd grade and it was just a good story. I read it last year and I started discussing it with my family. The ending was our main topic. Did Jonas really find Elsewhere? Or did he find that spot in our imaginations that keeps us alive on the most boring days? Or did he simply die? From Kindergarten to Philosophy major, this story deserves every recognition it is qualified for.

Summary: Interesting, but what a waste of a good ending
Review: This book was an excellent book, for a while. The begginingwas a little hard to understand, but it was cleared up soon. LoisLowry just DESTROYED the ending, though. It was so confusing, it might as well have been written in Greek! The end made me want to stop reading.

Summary: This is a wonderfully written book.
Review: This book takes place in a community.This is about how children are raised and grow up. The two main children are Jonas and Lily. We compare this book to our life. It is slow in the beginning but it gets exciting.Jonas seems like a good character because he seems nice and very helpful. If you want to compare it and enjoy a great book then think about The Giver. I liked the book because I like to compare it to my life. I also like to learn how other countries and different centuries live or did live. Whenever I have free time I sit down and read a couple of chapters of it. There is so much i could say about great book. I liked Jonas because he seems nice like my best friend and he acts kinda like her. Give this book a try!

Summary: IT WAS HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE 1ST TIME
Review: I THOUGHT THE BOOK WAS UNUSUAL. YOU HAVE TO READ THE BOOK 2 OR 3 TIMES TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE THING. I THOUGHT IT WAS OKAY, BUT I DON'T RECOMMEND IT. THE BOOKIS ABOUT A BOY WHO HAS BEEN CHOSEN TO BE A LEADER AND TO HAVE ALL KNOWLEDGE AND HE RUNS AWAY BECAUSE HE FINDS OUT A SECRET.

Summary: Jonas is assigned to be the new reciever of memory
Review: I think that this story was very weird. It was exciting too. I liked it because in the beginning it makes you want to read more. It also confuses you. From one through five I rate it a four because it could of had a better ending. The ending was very boring and not exciting at all. I thought that it was going to have a better ending. Other than the ending, it was very cool. In some parts of the book it leaves you in suspense and makes you want to read more. My favorite part was when Jonas is assigned his assignment and goes for his training to the annex room. When he receives pain and happiness. Also when he discovers things. This is my review and opinion on the book called "The Giver" by: Lois Lowry.

Summary: A whole new world...
Review: ...that is what Lois Lowry has created. Right down to the hair ribbons and buttons, this world is all about sameness. It's hard to believe people could be happy living like this. Lowry is a master and she makes you think about and cherish the important things, like snow, sunshine, uniqueness, choice, and love.
