Summary: Very weird,and funny in some spots.
Review: Hi, my name is Gary Neeley.I'm writing to you because I read two of Lois Lowry's books this year.The names of those books are: THE GIVER and NUMBER THE STARS, both great books. I think she should write a second part to The Giver because alot of people would like it if she did.I would like to read the end of the book. At least make a second book that is about 100 pages or more. I read the book every chance I get because it's a great book. Next, I would like to talk about Number The Stars. I think she did just fine but maybe she could write a sequel to it with all of the charcters from the book but about Desert Storm.

Summary: Great
Review: Hi, my name is Andrew Tucker and I'm in the 7th grade at Cadillac Middle School. My class just finished the book, The Giver. I thought the book was very well written with a lot of detail. My favorite part of the book was when you described the memory of snow. I liked the way you described it using words like: crisp and cool. As I read further into the book the more I wanted to read it. I thought the part were he is at the ceromony of twelve and gets his assignment was a good part because you didn't know what was going to happen. Toward the middle of the book you started to see that his world was very diffrent from ours. I think you should write a sequel to The Giver because at the end of the book it just left you sitting there thinking about what could happen. I guess that is good because you can use your imagination. I think that this book deserved the Newberry Medal.

Summary: strange
Review: Hi,I'm Mary Anne Vallee from Cadillac Middle School in Michigan. I'm in Mrs.Bartelson's seventh grade english class. We have read your books Number the Stars and The Giver.Number the Stars is a really awesome book. I think it's better than The Giver. That book left me confused.Iwas wondering if you were going to write another book that explains what happens to Jonas and Gabe. It was discusting when Ifound out what ''Release'' meant. But anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I thought you were a really cool author.

Summary: This is a really great book!
Review: Out of the two books that Mrs. Lowry wrote, that I read, I like The Giver the best. I thought Number The Stars was kind of boring. I liked how Jonas was my age, in The Giver, so I could relate to him a bit. And, even though Gabe wasn't Jonas' brother, I could relate to that, too. So, I could really get into the book, because of that. I didn't like the ending of The Giver, though. I don't think many people liked the ending either. So, I have a request, could you make another book, of the same topic, but with a better ending? I also didn't like the whole release thing. Especially with the twins, how they would kill the one who weighed the least. Overrall I would say this was a great book, and just forget about my rating I put! I really got in to it, even though it was an assignment for my English class, well, now that I think about it, so is this letter!

Summary: "A very fastinating view into the future."
Review: My name is Hilary Harris and I am 13 years old. I have read some of your books called Number the Stars and The Giver, and have found them both very fastinating and well written. Although I love the other, I'm writing to you about The Giver. I thought the book was a good view into science fictioned life. It started out very detailed and explanatory, which I like, but toward the end it became a little confusing. Like when Jonas and Gabriel reached Elsewhere. What I thought from that was that you wanted the readers to make-up their own ending, but I think you should help us out and tell us what you thought was going to happen by writing a conclusion to The Giver. Thank you for taking your time to read this letter. I hope you consider writing another book about Jonas, Gabriel, and Elsewhere, and what happened after Jonas stopped taking his pills. Again, I thank you for listening to one of your readers, and I look forward to reading the second book if you decide to write another.

Summary: I REALLY ENJOYED THE BOOK
Review: Hello,my name is Kristy Okoren. I'm 12 yr.old and in the 7grade. I go to the Cadillac Middle School. I'm writing you this letter because my class just got done reading, The Giver. We have also read Number the Stars, it was really sad and I'm glad that I wasn't around when that happened. So in Number the Stars did the two girls ever saw each other again? Well I think you should write another book that goes with Number the Stars, and why I think you should is because some people including me, would like to know if they ever saw each other or if they don't make it. We just got done reading The Giver. It was really wierd and I had a hard time understanding it. So can you help me understand why the community doesn't have the real parents take care of their children and why does the Birthmother have to be released after 3 children? I would like you to write another book that tells what happens to Jonas and Gabe. I would like them to still be alive and for them to start a new life and go on from there! Well I better finish my letter up to you by saying that I plan to read your other books and looking forward to a next series to The Giver and Number the Stars.

Summary: I enjoyed this book.
Review: My name is Erin Michell. I am a seventh-grade student at Cadillac Middle School. I am writing to you about a book I read of yours , The Giver. This book to me was very interesting. Usually when I read a book it gets boring and I put it down and never read it again. When I started reading The Giver, I thought it was going to be boring, but as I got further into the story it started getting really interesting. I am also writing to you because I have a suggestion . I really think you should write another book about what happens to Jonas.Do they ever find him and Gabe? How do they end up in life? If you could do this I would be really happy, because I really want to know what happens to Jonas and Gabe. I was also wondering if you could write to me at my home address , which is at the top or e-mail me at the Cadillac Middle School, and tell me if you are going to write another book. Thank you for your time. I hope you take this in to consideration. Sincerely, Erin Michell

Summary: This book was simply GREAT!
Review: This book is certainly one of my favorites, I couldn't put it down! When you first start reading it, it sounds a little weird and boring, but that's where most people make their mistake. They just quit reading the book. BUT I advise you not to. Keep on reading, then you'll get to the good part! It is very well written, and it constantly keeps you interested with new developments and discoveries. If you're a book lover like me, read it! If you're not, try reading it because if you don't, you're missing out on a lot of great stuff.

Summary: A book that makes you appreciate our world opposed to theirs
Review: When Jonas leaves with Gabriel, and looses most of his memories, he then feels and experiences the same memories he got from the Giver. He really hasn't lost anything. Instead, he finally understands what the memories mean. After he has lost the memory of snow, a sled and a hill, he experiences it and then the memory can stay with him (Jonas) and Gabe (Gabriel) for life , and the same thing with the music. Also when he takes Gabe (Gariel) with him, he is understanding the true and real meaning of love, unlike the community, who can't experience love because they don't know what love is.
