Review: The Giver is one of my favorite books. It really made me appreciate and realize that I am lucky to have what I have. I love the way Lois Lowry writes, using lots of metaphors that one can ponder and discuss. By the end of the book I was crying! I highly recommend that everyone read this book, YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!

Review: "the giver" is a really interesting and touching book, and it leaves you thinking about its themes and content long after you've read it. once you start reading it, you won't put it down until you've read the whole thing. a keeper.

Summary: Good Book
Review: This is a really interesting book. The theme makes us realize how lucky we realy are to live in such a nice place. Although I liked it there are some things I wish Lois Lowry had done better. The beginning of the book was kind of boring so it took me 2 times until I read the whole book and the end is too incomplete. I could understand if she gave us atleast a little hint of what happened but nothing was said so I have no idea what happened. The end was kind of disappointing but the book is still really good.

Summary: it is very interesting and great book
Review: i think the giver is one of the best books i ever read. i was only 11 when i read it so there were some parts i did not quite understand. i read it again when i was 12 and it made much more sense to me. i think this book is great for young adults and i'm sure i'm going to keep reading it again and again.

Summary: The Giver teaches a boy in the Community.
Review: "The Giver" was a very enjoyable book because it has good lessons on how families should spend time together and how children should be taught to be resopsiable. The ceremonies were important events in the Giver. Children one though twelves are recognized at annaual celebrations. At the age of eight children receive a new jacket with small buttons and the first pocket . This teaches children to keep up with their belongons. they also receive volunteer hours. They must be responsiable in order to do volunteer. I think it is a good idea to teach children responsibility.

Summary: The Giver is a great book and it should be read also.
Review: I read a book called The Giver this summer! I think personally that it is an adventurous yet strange and if you like to read I would recommend you reading this book. The Giver is about a boy named Jonas who became the receiver of memory, his community, and the people in it. Jonas meets The Giver and learns some amazing things that he never knew. He learned that there is a such thing as color and everything is not the same color. In the book, at the ceremony he became the new receiver of memory. Every time they turned a year older up until they were twelve they had to go to a ceremony to receive something new. For instance, Lily received her bicycle at a ceremony. He has a sister Lily, and she became a nine at the ceremony. She was so happy! Jonas's dad works at the Nurturing Center. All of the members in the community had to use appropriate languaage all the time. It is good use correct language. In conclusion, the book is great and I think you should read it sometime. Well thats all I have to say for now, Bye-Bye!

Summary: This book is weird, but I liked it.
Review: Over the summer I read a book called the "Giver" for my PRE-AP language arts class and I really liked the book. I liked some parts of the book and some parts i did not like or did not understand.If you wold like to find out about more of my review please read on. The parts of the book that I really liked about the book were it's elaborations and how on some parts ho they made it clear and how they had great allusions and alsohow they made characters names fit the books such as Jonas,Gabriel,The Giver's name. Jonas which means (dove a symbol of peace).In the book how they showed this is when jonas found out that release meant to kill.When Jonas knew exactly what it meant he knew what he had to do and that they were going to release gabriel,he took Gabriel and took him to elsewhere and he left everything he knew and loved and left it behind just to save someones life not worring about his own.

Summary: This is a wonderful book,it should be read all over the U.S
Review: The Giver, a book I read over the summer, was based on a young boy named Jonas who worked very hard to accomplish the goals he had ahead of him. One goal he had to achieve was the goal The Giver assigned to him. This goal was called the reciever of memorie. At first, Jonas thought he would never be the receiver of memorie. After all, it does seem like a hard job. Although he thought that it was hard, he found it easy and exciting.
