Rating:
Summary: Great book, bad ending
Review: I though The Giver was a very good book, with an intresting setting. The only thing I didn't like was that the ending was pretty lackluster.

Rating:
Summary: this is the greatest book ever
Review: This is the best book I have ever read. It shows everthing that the human emotions can feal. I tshows what kind of world we live in and opens our minds to what is around us. no other book can make you intouch with you emotions such as this book can. It was well writen and deserves all the praise this world can give it.

Rating:
Summary: This book reminds us of all the things we have and can lose.
Review: I first read this book in the sixth grade and I am now a senior. All throughout these years it has remained my favorite. I would reccommend this book to any teacher or student. It paints a picture of what a world would be like with no choices and freedoms. I also helps to show that going along with the accepted things can often turn out to be fatal. I think that it has also strenghened many of my beleifs because I now realize how important they are in life. Everyone should read this book

Rating:
Summary: I just read this book and couldn't put it down!
Review: I'm 13 years old and we read this book in school. I highly reccomend this to anyone looking for a great book. The ending was a little confusing but it leaves you to make your own end.

Rating:
Summary: Good book, but sometimes a little bit overdone.
Review: I am a high school freshmen and we read this for freshman english. I told my mom that we were going to read this and she didn't seem very happy. I asked her why and she said that it was a good book but didn't think that we should be reading it in a christian school. Why you might ask, is because they like to over do their community just a little bit! Almost to much! Anyway, my suggestions are to read it but remember who you are!!!!!

Rating:
Summary: a magnificent book showing the real thoughts of a boy.
Review: this book is one of the best science fiction books ever written. I am a person who can rarely finish a book because i am bored with it. But this book I think could keep any one interested. it tells a story while also showing deep things about the human personality. This is my favorite book that i have ever read and one of the few books that i will read again, i give it five stars.

Summary: What a great book!
Review: I first read yhis book when I was ten and found it very easy reading. This book simply turned my life around and is one of my favorites. What would have given the author this idea?

Rating:
Summary: A great book to have your class read, or to read to them.
Review: I am a school teacher (6-8 Lang. Arts and Reading). I was looking for books to supplement The Diary of Anne Frank, something to help our kids understand what was meant by a "perfect society". 1984 seemed to 'old' for our kids to grasp and understand, but The Giver is easy to read understandable, and interesting. I would recommend it for any junior high teacher to use in their class.
