Review: who is selected to be the Receiver of Memories. Jonas lives in a perfect community with no choices and no pain, but when Jonas is training to be the Receiver, he feels pain and war and suffering. He knows about colors and choices and realizes that his community is not perfect. As a 5th grader I feel The Giver is a very excellent book, and I recommend it to everyone!

Summary: A creative and good book, but...
Review: The book was okay in my opinion because of some following reasons. This book have excellent themes and potential by Lois Lowry. It offers some interesting views of what would happen if your abilities and rights to make choices were taken away in favor of more secure environment. However, there were few problems with the plot such as the ending not really tying up all of the book's storyline. Lois could have written much more extensively, especially what happens after the incident near the end of book. (I'm not going to spoil the plot...) Overally, the book was one of enjoyable reading experience I had.

Summary: It's a good book! Ü
Review: I thought the book was good but it got very confusing. Imagining a whole different world is hard to do. If you like reading books in the future I'm sure you would like this book. The author did a good job writing this book but didn't paint a picture in my head so the book was hard to follow.

Summary: The book was great for an imagination.
Review: I thought that the book was great. My class read it for a project and we all loved it. I, including the rest of the students, read ahead of the schedule because we couldn't wait the extra day to see what happened. Although, at some spots of the book, it seems a little non-informative, it is still a great book. I would incourage everyone to read this book. You can sometimes predict what will happen but anyone would like it. At first, I thought that it was far-fetched, but it speeds up and you get caught in the book. I couldn't put it down.

Summary: a good book
Review: "The Giver" was one of the most unique books I've read. It's somewhat like a folklore with a story based on a society that isn't real in comparison with today's society which is filled with a variety of people and styles. The people in the controlled community are like robots with no variation and no feelings. Since the people in the community chose not to have feelings, they gave the responsibility of carrying everyone's feelings to a chosen one such as Jonas and The Giver.The "shared rememberence" between Jonas and The Giver resembles a fortune teller showing someone's future or a witch implanting images or thoughts one may or may not want in their minds.

Summary: deep and insightful - loved it!!
Review: I really liked this book, for a couple of reasons. One is that it subtly incorporates the concept of traditions and urban legends. Because this community didn't have any folklore, just rules and regulations, there was nothing to tie the community together. The only reason why the community felt any connection was because they were ingrained with the sense that they were a part of the community since they were born. But what community were they really apart of? Without the stories that are passed down from generation to generation, there is no real link. There are superficial links, necessary for order and survival, but when you come right down to it, there is nothing. This book reminds us of that, and teaches us to not take our roots for granted. The other thing I like about The Giver is that it makes the reader pause and reflect on his or her own life. What would we do if we didn't have any choices, not even what we eat for breakfast? I for one would go crazy. It makes us appreciate the choices we have in life, even the ones we really don't want to make.

Summary: It is an interesting and suspenseful book.
Review: The book has a very vague ending, which allows me to imagine what is going on. Different people will think of it differently, and I just have to let my imagination flow. It is a very imaginative book which I would recommend wholeheartedly.
