Rating: Summary: It's worth reading. Review: I had to read this book for a class. I had no clue what the book was about when I started it. But I actually liked the book. I thought that the main character Jonas made a great change in his character from the beginning to the end. The plot was great and it was a fast, easy read. Anybody who wants to get away from the world for a couple of hours should definately read it.
Rating: Summary: Read this book! Review: I have read this book four times, but every time I notice something new. If you've read this book, read it again. There is a lot of stuff that is easy to miss the first time you read it.
Rating: Summary: I liked your book a lot more than I do lots of others. Review: In the book my favorite part was the escape. I thought it was neat how you described war, it made me feel like I was there. You were very descriptive in describing how thirsty the boy on the battlefield was. The saddest part was when baby Gabe was about to freeze to death. It would wonderful if you wrote a sequel. I really liked your book a lot. The sequel should be about what happens to Jonas and Gabe. It should also be about what happens to the community and the Giver. P.S. PLEASE WRITE A SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: It's the best possible book of its subject. Review: Hello, my name is Alex Brunk. I'm in the seventh grade at Cadillac Middle School. I have read your book, The Giver. I thought it was interesting and unique. I don't think it needs a sequel. The reader having to make up an ending is another reason why I like it. Thank you for your time
Rating: Summary: I thought it was a great book!!! Review: Hi, my name is Ashley Dean. I am a seventh grader at Cadillac Middle School. In the past month I have read a book of yours. I thought The Giver was a great book, especially at the end. My favorite part of it was at the ceremony of twelve when the Chief Elder skipped Jonas. I think it would be a good idea to make a sequel to it. It was very tempting to read especially at the end, but I wish it would have told what happens to Jonas and Gabe.
Rating: Summary: It was the most interesting book that I have read yet! Review: The Giver was one of the most interesting books to read. It was very easy to read, and I would really recommend it to people of all ages. These people lived in a world where there were restrictions on practically everything. Even left over food was to be recycled. But for a community that was to be so perfect, well I've got my own response. When Jonas was picked to be the new reciever he was very scared because he really did not know what to think. Jonas and the Giver developed a friendship that could last forever. But I believe that the best thing that could ever happen to him was to just plain and simply leave his home. But what really got to me was the fact of how they decieved others of what being released really meant. The fact that they killed the lighter of the twins just because there could not be two of them was one of the most cruelest things yet. But in a so called perfect society I believe things like that would happen every day. It's just the only two people who knew what feelings where just couldn't take it anymore. Jonas left and the Giver had been living ten years of grief because his only daughter Rosemary had wanted to be realeased. So if you have an hour or so to spare this book would be a great one for you to read. Or if you were interested in what you might think the future would be like in another 100 years I believe this would give you some insight.
Rating: Summary: I liked your book "The Giver" Review: Your book the giver was a very good book and I hope that you keep on writing the same kind of good books for me to read.
Rating: Summary: The Best Book Ever Review: I loved this book. It was so orginal and imagitive. I recommand it to everyone I know. They all loved it too.
Rating: Summary: The Giver was a good book. Review: Hi, my name is Brooks Trump. I read the book The Giver. It was a weird, but sad book. The Giver was weird because the people would have to do assignments, and I wouldn't want to suffer bad memories. I think it was sad because of the twins process. How the lightest baby has to die. I wouldn't let that happen if I was the Giver. I liked it because it was agood book. I think the author should write a second book of The Giver.
Rating: Summary: Very Different Review: In Language Arts we read The Giver and Number the Stars. I really enjoyed both of them. Lowry has a great imagination. The Giver was a well written book. I liked how descriptive Lowry was. I could really get the picture and idea. I also enjoyed Number the Stars. I never wanted to stop reading at the end of class. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I really hope Lowry will continue to write because I love her style and creativity. When I feel like a good book, I will definitely pick up a Lois Lowry book.
