Summary: I think the book was ok
Review: I think the book was ok, it was good through the whole book untill it got to the end. the last chapter was dumb, I didnt like how it ended but my favorit chapter was chapter 19. I liked how he talked about the release and how Jonas got to watch it, and see how powerful. when I started reading it I thought it was a really good book then it started geting to the end and I didnt like it as much.

Summary: I think it was a harsh look at the future.
Review: The Giver was a pretty good look at what our future could look like. It would be an unfair life to live without color or feelngs.The book really discribed how you it not be very fun to see with no color or feelings. I think that Lois Lowery could have made the ending way better i was disapointed in the ending and how she left us out to hang. But this book opened my eyes to what we could grow up living like in the future. Maybe we already are.

Summary: A different book, one for the open-minded reader.
Review: I enjoyed the Giver and all the memories he had to share with Jonas. It made me realize the things that I take for granted everyday such as seeing colors, feeling love, and making my own choices. Jonas had an important choice to make in the story and I wonder if I would have made the same decision in his situation. I never did figure out the end of the story.......

Summary: A truely powerful work of literature.
Review: When I first picked up the library copy of The Giver, I didn't know what to expect - the cover was intriguing, the plot summary didn't tell much... ...I finished reading it in one sitting, then almost immediately began rereading it, because the book had struck me as so powerful that I wanted to reexperience it, and let it sink even deeper into my soul. Not only is the book well-crafted and a powerful idea, but it contains many levels of meaning. The Giver is the sort of book that different people will interpret differently, based on their views and experiences - and all of those interpretations are right. This is a book ripe for discussion and rereadings (for rereadings bring new insights and new discoveries, and a further understanding of both the book itself, and the significance of the book). I highly recommend this book to almost anyone (and do so on a regular basis - several of my friends have already adopted this book as one of their favorites)

Summary: Reading this story was a new experience for me.
Review: Unfortunately, I did not read the novel until my freshman year in college, and yet the theme was still somewhat difficult for me to comprehend at this level, because of its'complexity. For some reason I believe that this story would be difficult for younger children (such as fifth grade) to comprehend. I am not usually a fan of science fiction, however, I enjoyed this novel immensely. Lowry shows that even the most perfect world is still flawed.Yet, surprisingly, she took the components of the novel from her real life experiences. Although I know that the book ended exactly the way that Lowry wanted it too, I still think that she should have included some more information as to what was to happen to Jonas. From reading most reviews, that was the major problem addressed.

Summary: I am right now on chapter 22 and loving it!!
Review: This is a strange book because it takes place in the future. They have all sorts of wierd rules on hair ribbons and bikes and they even have a special term called "release" for people who don't fit in with the other community people. A release is when they kill the person. But I shouldn't give the book away!!!! I am reading the Giver for a grade six assigned book. The other assigned books I have reviewed are as followed: Bridge to Terabithia; The Cay; Sounder {I think I reviewed it!} and others. So you can read my point of view from a sixth grader who has to read these books.

Summary: It was a good book in general but I found it too fictional.
Review: The Giver is about a boy named Jonas who becomes the "receiver of memory" in a world that I found was too fictional. The author sends the message of what the world would be like after a nuclear war. The book also brings out the advatages and disadvatages of a world without choices. I recommend the Giver to anybody who is searching for an excellent fictional and symbolic book.

Summary: The Giver is a Awesome Book!
Review: This is one of my favorite books of all time because it is meaningfful and gives a view of how life without strong feeling can be harsh and unwanting. I thought this plot was definetily an act of pure brilliance by Lois Lowery. This book is so meaningful and important. Jonas's expieriances as the new reciever showed me that we need things like love. It also showed the sadness of war ,hunger,neglect and many others that we have to deal with today. I saw that when not used to it all these things can do a number on one's soul. I don't know how much I can tell you what a great book this but all i can say for now is everyone should read tis extrodinary book!
