Summary: An intreging book from the community beyond!!!
Review: The Giver is just one of the many books written by Lois Lowery. The setting is in the future of a community that is very monotonuos. There are no momories of any generation but there own, only one person has all the momories of any time and place. The Giver is what he goes by and he has apprentice named Jonas who is the Reciever of memories. Jonas was chosen and honored to have been picked for the job. He took real pain and hunger for the first time. The community is uniform everything is a routine and has sameness. At the ending Jonas runs away taking someone special with him on the long journey. I will leave the ending for you to figure out!

Summary: The Giver was a great book!
Review: The Giver, by Louis Lowry was a great book. It takes place where there are no feelings, colors or differences. Jonas is the main character, and he is selected to be the new Reciever of Memory. This job is very important because there is only one in the whole community. He meets the current Reciever and he calls him the Giver. The Giver transmits memorys that the communtity has never recieved. This was a really good book and I would recomend it to anyone who wants to broaden yourthoughts about different life styles.

Summary: The Giver was a good book.
Review: I thought the giver was a pretty good book. I thought some parts in the begining were boring but the rest made up for the begining. It just kept getting better. I thought some parts were a little strange and confusing. I still thought it was a great book. I think it is a good book for young adults to read.

Summary: The Giver was a spectacular book.
Review: The Giver was a compelling novel. It was filled with all different kinds of feelings and emotions. From the begining to the end it just kept getting better and better. It was confusing at time but after a while you started to get it. The way they lived was a whole lot different from the way we live and it took a liitle getting used to but I enjoyed the book.

Summary: a story of a boy in his "perfict" community.
Review: I read the book The Giver by Louis Loury. The book is about a boy named Jonas who lives in a "perfect" comunity, so he thinks. Until he is chosen for the job of recever, the highest of honor's. There he learnes things that he never wanted to know and can never forget. I thought this book was well writen with good feeling and alliteration. Untill the ending that while being interesting to some, will be tediouse and annoying to others. I give this book three stars because it has a good beginning and middle but a ending that may leave some wanting more.

Summary: The Giver is an outstanding book!
Review: The Giver is a great book for ages 8 and up. It's a book about never giving up and doing what you belive. In the society that Jonas lives in everything is the same. No one can see color and they have many rules that they have to live by. It is very interesting the way that these people live compared to the way that we live today. This is the one book that I have read and enjoyed. Once you pick it up you wont be able to put it down.

Summary: The Giver is a great book to read if you have a imagination
Review: The setting is in a furturistic society where color, love, and feeling have all been taken away. Jonas, the main character, has recieved a special assignment. An assignment is your job. In this book no one needs to make decicions like who to marry or what to be. The children of married couples are not even related to them. When Jonas gets deeper into his training for his special assignment, he begins to learn that something isn't right about the way things are.
