Summary: A Kid's Veiw of "The Giver"
Review: I thought that this book really makes you feel that you are lucky not to communist like they are in "The Giver". It really makes you know how much you take for granted the idea that you are different. The whole book is based on the concept of "Sameness", and it is about the quest Jonas takes to be different, to get "Elseware". I deffinatly give this book a "10", and hope you choose to read it, too.

Summary: The best book I have ever read!
Review: This is honestly the best book I have ever read. It shows that nothing can be completely perfect. Jonas learned that when he was selected to receive memories of our time. His world may seem perfect, but how good can a world without color, affection, or choices be?

Rating:
Summary: Thought-provoking, a one-sitting reader
Review: I really loved this book. It was very harsh and cold, but made me appreciate love and warmth. I wanted someone in the story to do something against the rules, but they didn't. I wanted them to rebel, but they didn't. It made me appreciate imperfections. It was one of the most though-provoking books I've ever read.

Summary: The Giver by Lois Lowry: Not Just a Childs Book
Review: Most people think that young adult books can not be as good as adult books. I used to agree, but now I strongly disagree. The Giver is my favorite book ever. It is wonderful reading for any age, boys or girls, men or women. In this novel, Lois Lowry really reminds us not to take the little things for granted; the weather, colors, hills. Who knows how long they'll be around? I highly reccomend this book to anyone who loves to read.
