Summary: It was a good book and made you wonder about alot of things.
Review: I read the book the Giver and I think that it has a lot of morals in it. It shows you that nothing is perfect no matter how hard you want it to be there will always be flaws. It also states that you should be grateful with what you have. I think that everyone should read this book so everyone will be a little more grateful.

Summary: This book is a great young adult book
Review: I really enjoyed reading this facinating book by Lois Lowry. She is one of my favorite authors. I could not stay with the class so I had to read ahead. This book was very hard to put down. The first time I read it I did not understand some of the things that they were talking about. After the second time, everything was much eaiser to understand. I would really recommend this book to older children. It really made me be thankful for the laws that we have and don't have. If your just thought about living the life of these people, its kinda scary.

Summary: A good book that is great for mainly young-adult readers.
Review: Jonas lives in the distant future. He was brought into a world without pain and hunger and he going to have the time of his life after he was appointed the Reciever of his community. The Giver, his trainer, will teach him some of the life styles people lived back then. The author, Lois Lowry, treated the subject of the story with a certain passion, trying to let the "young people" to learn that there isn't always pain but there is also love. I recommend this book to mainly young-adult readers. The literacy work is great to capture the young minds of today's readers. I thought is was a good book, this is why I have rated this book four stars.

Summary: This book is a unique and wonderful book
Review: This book was great! It took a while for the story to get interesting, but once it did I couldn't put it down. I think that this book would be great for 4th and 5th graders. The being was kind of boring, but the farther I got in the book the better it got.

Review: This book is a definate winner! Lowry's magnificent powers of description provide for a capturing and touching tale of a boy from the future.I am not one for sentimental pieces of writing, and this was not one until the end. It is though provoking and gives a new look at the way things might be. Her literary techniques and amazing themes have made this book one of my favorites from the first time I read it at age 9 to many (we won't say how many) years later today.

Although Jonas has been selected as The Receiver and this the most important job in his community so he knew he had to do it right. He knew it wouldn't be easy because ten years ago a female had been chosen for the same thing and had failed.

Summary: A startling look at how the world could be.
Review: Lois Lowry's The Giver sends chills down my spine, for the lonereason that this book is not fantasy but almost reality. It describesa world where everyone gives up, and decides that they can't live with emotions, to name one of the many things they gave up. Jonas, the lead character, was not given the chance to decide if he wanted to live in a society so black and white. He was born there, and nearly conformed to the rigid ways of the community. But he changed, and decided to leave to the community. The only way he did this, however, was with the help of teh Giver. I find this book realistic, yet full of hope. I applaude Ms. Lowry for having the foresight to write it.

Summary: Young boy struggles for idenity in utilitarian society.
Review: The giver is an absorbing novel by Lois Lowry which transports yo to a worls where everything is seen in black and white terms. It is the same for Jonas, the main character, till the time for his thirteenth birthday draws near. He begins to see flashes of something, in an apple, or his friend Fiona's hair. When he is picked to be the giver, a honored but mysterious and frightning position, things change even more. After he becomes the giver Jonas learns that his society kills non-productive members, Jonas decides to flee to a community lying "outside", which is similar to our own. WHen he leaves, he triggers a release of all the memories he has accumalated as part of the givers job, to the community, and things become more normal.
