Summary: Everyone should read this book at least once
Review: This is a superb book. I have read and re-read it many times, and loved it every time.The book also forces you to think about things that most people don't think about that much, and to re-analzye certain common philosophical assumptions. I think that everyone should read this book at least once in their life. The biggest problem that I had with this book is the rather unsatisfactory ending; the story's resolution is suggested, but nothing is stated. Personally, I would have liked the story to have continued a little longer so as to find out what had happened later.

Summary: It's a good book for school !
Review: The Giver tells the reader the story of Jonas, who lives in a community, which seems to be a perfect world by having very strict rules. At his Ceremony of Twelve he is selected as a new „Reciever of Memory". That means that he gets to see things which the others in the community aren't able to see. Gradually, Jonas notices how the „real world" looks like. Our opinion:
It's a good book for a school-book. The beginning is very boring, but page by page it gets more interesting. Especially the moments when Jonas gets the memories are written very well so that you can imagine these situations. After the first chapters, you don't want to stop reading the book. The book makes you thinking about our own society. We would recomment to read this book. :o)

Summary: unfortunately 0 stars don't exist
Review: In a world without feelings Jonas is chosen to be the new Receiver of Memory. That means he alone has to keep all the memories of the past. Gradually he recognizes that the community he lives in isn't that perfect as it's supposed to be. Together with the Giver of Memory he makes a plan to bring the memories like colors and real feelings back to the members of community...
I didn't enjoy the book very much. It's just one more book of those that "inconspicuously" wants to call attention to the grievances of the world.

Summary: B00x0rz w]-[iC]-[ R00xXorz
Review: The plot is acting in a fictional world in the future, where the people -tired of wars and diseases- live in such called "communities". Small villages. They where able, because of scientific development to use "climate control" and "terraforming", to build the world, like they wanted to. In their community, they abolished things like, weather (because of bad weather), hills and mountains (because of the risk of falling down), colors (because they wanted to get all thing unitary). The people in the community, have to stick to a lot of rules. The main character Jonas, a 12-year-old boy, was chosen for the most important job in the whole community. He is going to get the new Receiver of Memory, who is reminding all the thing of the past, the other people don't want to know. During the process of his training by the Giver of Memory, all the dark secrets of the community were revealed to them. He and the Giver make a plan to change the life of the people again, to the way it was in the past. The book is good to imagine. The world that is described, has a lot of good sides, but the dark sides of that way of living are very scary to us.

Summary: a utopian world
Review: the giver is a book about a perfect community in which nobody has to suffer of hunger or illness. Everything is controlled by a committee, called "The Elders". The protagonist in the book is called Jonas, a twelve years old boy, who receives the most important assignment of the community. He's chosen to become the "Receiver" of the memories. He's educated by the Giver. But during his education he gets to know the disadvanteges of the community. The book ends with an open ending. It's a nice book. As it is a utopian world it's very interesting. cu greetings from germany

Summary: good story but bad end
Review: The Giver by Lois Lowry is an entertaining book, but it is not very realistic. The main person, called Jonas, should become the new Receiver of Memory. He is the only person in his community, who can see colours, and has feelings (besides the Giver)and so he learned how terrible it is to be the only one, who feels love. At the end of the book he decided to do something for the people in the community, but you don't know what happens to him and the community, because of this open end, you have to think about Jonas and his future life.
So it is quite interessting, but I was not very lucky about the end.

Summary: Review for the novel "The Giver"
Review: We think that the book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry is one of the best books we read at school. Jonas the main character in the story lives in a "perfect" community. When he was selected to be the next "Receiver of Memory", he began to learn more about the community and the negative side of the "perfect world". He realized that the situation had to be changed.
The book is very well written and it`s fun to read this book. You just don`t know how this book will end. In the first chapters the novel isn't so much interesting but in the following chapters the book gets very exciting.
A book for all generation because it's very interesting. It shows, that an utopia cannot exist in this world.
We think that everybody has to read this novel.

Summary: The Giver/Mrs. Shea/Period 1
Review: The Giver was about a boy named Jonas and his perfect world. He had everything going great. His friends were always there for him, there was no war, and no pain at all. Everything was in peace. When he turned twelve, he was assigned a special role like no other. Jonas was selected to receive special training from an elder man, who was called the Giver. The Giver showed him things that happen in the real world, introduced Jonas to things such as snow, sleds, runners, colors, downhill, and many other things that we experience in normal life. Then it was finally time for Jonas to get the truth, so he showed him the pain and pleasure of living a "real" life. My favorite part in this book was when the "Ceremony on Twelve's." It just came around the corner. This event shows a group of children who are to turn twelve. All of the children were assigned a job. These are the jobs that they must attend to for the rest of their lives. During this event, Jonas was the last to receive a task. This part was very exciting. Overall, I think that this book was great! It had a lot of cliffhangers. I couldn't stop reading on and on. It was an extremely exciting book. I would definitely recommend this book to readers who enjoy suspenseful stories because this is definitely one. Read this book!! It's very exciting!
