Summary: A Story of a boy named Jonas escaping his "perfect" life.
Review: This book is very like-able. It moves at a good rate and keeps the reader in curiousity. It is easy to understand and relatable to the reader. It is about a oung boy named Jonas and hs escaping the place in which he lives in. He gets picked to recieve the thoughts of the world as t was before it was monitored and perfect. When there was pain and suffering, as well as pleasure and happiness. After experiencing this he takes his little brother Gabrielle and ventures to find a world in which he can experience those emotions. He leaves without telling anybody and it is known that he left. This part leaves the reader in the most suspence. He also leaves when having feuds with his family, about their beliefs and their sayings. He also is't emotionally attached to them because they aren't his birth parents. He was put in this family when he was just a kid with no choice. His thoughts and emotional suffering, as well as his happiness with the Giver,(the man giving him all the memories of the times before) is relatable to the young reader's own feelings. I would definetely recommend this book to any reader. This book is right for all readers because it has a little bit of everything. It is heartfelt, adventurous, and has a comfort to it that any reader would like. This book should definetly be read, if you are young or old, or in between, this book is for you.

Summary: I really did not care for the Giver.
Review: The Giver to me was not a good book. You could not leave in the comunity,and the life style was boring. This book was not my favorite. A little advice - don't read this book. I think the book Green Eggs and Ham was a better book than this book. This book would have been alot better if it had more action. The comunity had alot of dumb rules in it.

Summary: I like "The Giver."
Review: The Giver to me was an inspirational book in the sense that you need to be independent.Jonas really showed his way to be independent.He did what he thought was right.The author gave us all a perfect example of what a perfect world would be like and now I do not want the world to be perfect. The book teaches us all what a perfect world would be like.It really did not suprise me either because there were alot of people upset in this.Well, thats my thought. No disrespect to anybody.

Summary: Imaginative and thought provoking, but lacking detail.
Review: The Giver is entertaining. It makes you think about moral and philosophical questions. However I feel that many of the characters' personalities were not explored enough. The ending also left too many loose ends and did not give enough closure.

Summary: The best book that I have read in a long time.
Review: This book was written in a very interesting way. The utopian society in this book gives the book an eerie sense to it. What I found to be the most interesting thing was how it explained to the reader what would happen if the society was broken and what the "chain-reaction" of the consequences would be. Each chapter that I read gave me a sense that something was going to happen and normally I was right. The main character, Jonas, seemed to me to be a rebel throughout the entire book and was very descriptive in the way he saw his world. I loved how the community was described in a way to tell us how the days would pass in the utopian society. It explained to us how people reacted toward one another and how each family would go about their daily routines and what else that the family would do that our families normally don't.

Summary: Great for teens and adults alike!
Review: When I was in fourth grade, this book was read to me by my English teacher. I liked it then, but couldn't really get into it. I understood it, but I just couldn't grasp the emotions needed to fully enjoy the book. Now, in the 8th grade, we are reading it for an assignment. I have only 3 words--I LOVE IT!! We were assigned to read 1 chapter each night. I finished the book in less than 2 days. Once you pick it up, it's glued to your hands until you finish it, and then the basic idea is glued to your mind forever. I would recommend this book for anyone over the age of 12 or 13. Anyone under these ages simply would not be able to understand the content of the book fully. All of the emotions that Jonas is feeling, the conflict that is brought about by "sameness"--you HAVE to be able to understand these concepts to enjoy the book. I strongly recommend this book. And to Lois Lowry--keep up the great work!

Summary: "The Giver" review
Review: The Giver is vividly descriptive and very imaginative. It definitely has become one of my all time favorites. Even the ending let you use your own imagination to wonder exactly what happened to Jonas, and in that sense that book is an endless tale.

Summary: Thought provoking
Review: I read this book when i was younger and i didn't care for it much. i didn't understand Jonas's community, but when reading it again at an older age it was very interesting to think about and conclude myself. Other people who had read it thought of a different ending, and it was intreaging to discuss our different points of view.

Summary: THE WORST BOOK I'V EVER READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Review: This book is teribal!!!!! I read it because I had to not because I wanted to. I would not have chosen this to read eventhough I am always reading. I do not recomend this book. A lot of my friends hate it too. We were talking about utopia ( a perfect place) Our teacher thought that the place in this book was an exaple of a utopia. I dissagree. They kill people with shots if there are too many or if they are too old. They can't see color. It is stupid. When I first started reading this book it seemed boring. After a few chapters it was pretty good for a little while. Then it kept getting worse and worse. The ending seemed like the author got tired of writing so she just wrote any thing. I can't belive this book has been published. I think the people that gave this book the award picked a random. It does not deserve it. I think the people who like this book are crazy.This book could be improved. The subject is ok. If a lot more detail was added and color then it would be better. The book seams only half done. The ending should be changed. I do not recomend this book to anyone. The ending is just Jonas standing on a hill. DON'T READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
