Review: The Giver is such a great book, It was hard to understand @ first, but once it all fell together, I couldn't get myself away from it, I recomend this book to all young readers, I personally don't like to read, but this book was so consuming.

Summary: It makes you think. What if......................?
Review: I was in 8th grade when my English teacher handed my class this book and we listened to it on tape. Which makes no sense to me. Well it makes you think. What if life was really this way?? What if THESE things really did happen? I mean maybe they do happen but it's just so interesting to read or listen to this book and comprehend everything. It is a little confusing but it's good.

Summary: Extremely thought-provoking, riveting but also disturbing
Review: I remember the way I felt after I had seen "The Day After" (that made-for-TV movie from 1983), and I honestly feel that this book has the same power to make you think about what might be AND then appreciate how wonderful and beautiful our world is--despite its many flaws. I'm currently getting my MLS in order to be a children's librarian, and I read THE GIVER to familiarize myself with some of Lowry's work. This book blew me away. I wish that the younger readers who gave this title only one or two stars could be part of a discussion with other readers who got more out of the book, because everyone should understand what the author is trying to say here...about the dangers of a homogeneous society where everyone thinks the same thing and there is no diversity and no imagination. Believe me, this is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading the final page... With its 390 customer reviews, I think this could well be the most highly "customer reviewed" children's book at Amazon.com and that says A LOT about how this book has that rare ability to evoke a visceral response...Unfortunately there are too few books are like that--books that really strike a chord and make us THINK.

Summary: This is the best book that I have ever read.
Review: The Giver is about an un-beleivable subject, but Lois Lowry makes it beleivable. Join Jonas, Asher, the Giver, Gabrial and the gang and find out how The Community works!

Summary: The book that makes me think
Review: This book makes me think about many things. When I read this book I wanted to know how the author got the ideas to write. The society in the story is perfectly controlled. It is somthing we do not have in the real world. This story takes place in the future. That is also interesting to think about.I liked this book. I would like to read it again some day and think about what happened at the end of the story. It might change my opinion about the ending. I am curious to know what the other readers think about the ending.

Summary: One of the best books I have ever read
Review: Even though I am 17 now, I still think of The Giver as one of the best books I have ever read. I can't wait until my brother is old enough to read it because I loved it so much. Lowry creates an really interesting world that leaves the reader wanting to read more and more. It doesn't matter what age you are, 12 or 40, its a great book for all ages. It definately deserved the award that it received.
