Summary: one of the best
Review: Lois Lowry is a great writer. Its a book you dont want to put down. If you think that the world we live in is bad you should read The Giver, cause they dont have all the things we have it has no color nothing you dont even get to have a opinion. If you read this book you will have a differnt perspective of our community. But one thing I didn't like about the book was the ending it should of told more at what happened to Jonas and Gabe.

Summary: great book
Review: One of my favorite parts is when they go elsewhere. It is a good book but it gets a little boring. I wish she would have had a longer ending.

Summary: A Good Book
Review: I liked the book because it made me think. I think the author's prupose was to tell us to look at the things we have in our real world. I thought the author handled the resolution good. It makes you think how you want the story to end.

Summary: The Best of the Best
Review: The Giver is a book you would have to read. The book keeps you thinking on whats going to happen next. This book is the best of the best books i have ever read. Their couldn't be a better book then the Giver. The best part about the book is when Jonas starts recieving memories and he finally starts to see color. Jonas is a brave boy. Trying to save the town from sameness. And in the end he had succeeded

Summary: Unforgetable
Review: I think the Giver is an interesting book that was well described by Lois Lowry. The characters were my favorite part, due to the well description. Lois brought up many different issues in the book, such as a world with no religion, abortion, and sameness. His world has no color, and that makes you thankful for what you have. I disliked the ending, I did not like how it made me pick my own ending. I like endings told to me, where you actually know the ending and there is no confusion on what the story is suppose to mean. Overall, it is a good novel. I would reccomend this to many people.

Summary: Set in a seemingly idyllic and utopian society...
Review: Lois Lowry, a prolific young adult author with many titles to her name, has stepped outside of her usual lighthearted and humorous works to write a science fiction novel that may surprise many of her readers. In The Giver, Lowry creates a safe utopian society, where the people act and look the same, where everyone abides by the same rules. On the surface there are no problems, yet the characters in the novel are human enough to make the reader sympathetic to their fate. Conflicts begin to arise when the main character becomes aware of many inherent problems in the society. Jonas, the major character, is a boy who lives in this society and the plot of the novel is based in part on the transformation of Jonas from a model and very important citizen to a rebel who chooses to turn his back on his family and world. The climax is reached when the characters are forced to find a solution to their conflict, however the ending of the novel is inconclusive and the readers must supply for themselves what happens in the end. Recommended for all school Libraries.Michael J. Spencer

Summary: It was okay
Review: I have just read this book (...). This book was interesting and at some parts it left you wanting to read more and more. But at the begining of this book the author seemed to not have any idea of what she was writing. The begining and the end i personaly thought were terrible. Not so much as the end but the last chapter. The parts that kept me reading were good but still the author might have been able to put more thought into what she was writing. The author had many things that did not fit and things that were badly placed because of the words that she had said before.
