Summary: The Giver of all gives
Review: The Giver was a book written by Lois Lowry. I think she was trying to tell everyone that there's a possibility there's more out there than we even know about. The book's about a community where you go to school,do volunteer work, the meals are brought to your family and you have a choice to have a spouse or childeren. Everyone has there birthdays together every year. When you turn twelve they try to help find out what your's good at and what you like. Then they tell you what you'll do for the rest of your life in that community. A boy turned twelve he was chosen to be a very powerfull leader in his community. He has no rules. He findes out what his father does and what things meant in the community. The way things were wants to changes things but, how would he go about that. I think its a good book to read for someone who dont like to read it kinda gets your attention.

Summary: "The Giver"-A Truly Thought-Provoking Story
Review: "The Giver" is one of the most interesting and remarkable books I've ever read. The story causes you to think about the meaning of human emotions, life, and society. To add to the mesmerizing atmosphere, the situations, plot, and characters are very well developed and attract your attention.
The situations are carefully planned and the plot is descriptive, imaginative, and vivid. The characters are unique and have distinct personalities that different people can relate to. It's a exceptionally challenging read, in terms of the way it is written and the vocabulary that is used. At times, it can be difficult to understand the message unless you truly search and think about it. Once you set your eyes on this story, you won't be able to stop reading. The end will definitely leave you wanting more! ~KS~

Summary: I agree with dev patel
Review: I agree with this review because Dev Patel (the reviewer) says The Giver is a good book to read for adults and young adults. She says the book makes you think and it points out the problems in a utopian society. The government is always watching and the people are at one constant emotional level. The book helps people understand what is to live in a ¡§perfect¡¨ society, and why we don¡¦t. In the community the people feel no pain or emotion, and when they do they have to take pills to stop them. The Giver is a book for people who enjoy reading books that give you a new perspective. I give the book a
four out of five.

Summary: The Giver
Review: First, when I read this book, I thought it is very hard even if it is for 6, 8, 10 grade students. Actually I don't know when it is written. But I am sure it criticizes the communism. Who knew communism's last as USSR or eastern European countries. But the auther understood the societies of communism. Their closed society and equal lives, but generation and generation, they can not know the origin community. Why should they work? communism's dream is very ideally. But it prevents diversity and creation of the people. Although human is social animals, communism ignores human's big principal. I don't like such a book because its background and result are very gloomy. But it express the communism very well. It should be ok that you read once or twice.

Summary: Utopian Society
Review: The Giver by Lois Lowry is one of the interesting novels that I have read. I recommend this book not only 12 years old boys but adults also. This story brings thinking about life and society. The author gives ideas about sameness and difference of society. In Jona¡¯s society, every person has same experience and doesn¡¯t have to worry about basic needs. Also, the society doesn¡¯t have a social gab. It is like a utopian society; however, The Committee of Elder decides person¡¯s entire life. At age of 12, every person is received an assignment by the Committee. Jona, a main character, receives an assignment of the Receiver of Memory. He receives memories of everything, that prohibit other people in Jona¡¯s society, from The Giver. Jona recognizes secrets of the society, and his adventure starts.

Summary: I don't agree the rule of the community!!!
Review: At the first time I read this book, I was very confused because their society is very different from reality and my stereotype. They have special rules own such as assignment. When they are 12 years old, they will be able to assignment each other, and Jonas received the Receiver. When he got the instruction of assignment, it can break the whole thing from community rule, even though he can lie. When Jonas trained by the Giver, he was surprised because of new experiences; for instance, colors, sunshine, pain,
Anyway, I would like to say it is really wrong idea the rule of Jonas¡¯s community. There is not any release like my society, and somebody can kill other people because they couldn¡¯t do anything in the society. And they are learning something when they are young and they do that job until they are old. Then if they couldn¡¯t do that job anymore, they removed. I think the community is necessary to working the society. However, this is really wrong idea. So, I don¡¯t agree the plot of the story about society rules; however the book is so fantastic for me, and wonderful!

Summary: conformity of the community
Review: Jonas community is different from our common society. They stress the conformity and sameness. They will receive the assignment at 12 age, and they should follow the assignment which was arranged each other. They don't know common thing like color, snow, pain, war and so on, because the community is very specially. Jonas would be able to receive the Receiver from the ceremony at 12 age, and he trained by the Giver. At the end of the story, Jonas leaves to the community with his brother who has same color eyes with Jonas. I hate the rule in the story because it interfere their freedom and choice for the future. In addition, they don't care death; moreover, they think the death is the real release So, I opposite to the side of the story. However, it might be right the community is perfect society. There are not any difference between people like poverty and rich, idiot and genius. If they don't know another society, they will be live very perfectly. I impress the part of training about Christmas. Jonas considered the family and love at there. It is one of the emotions, but in the community, their family is not real, and it is also already decided by community. They have a birth mother separately. The book is very differently other fiction, and I think about the common our society again, and I can remind the material who settled in the present because of the story.

Summary: oh gosh, what a book.
Review: My goodness, I read this magnificent piece of art in grade 8...It is just such a beautiful, splendid book, I urge anyone of any age to read this, it's so pure, it is...It is just one of the most incredable books I have read and is something very sentimental to me, and hopefully to future readers. It's on my top ten list for best books for young readers! Read it. You won't regret it, take my word.
