Summary: The Giver
Review: The book "The Giver" By:Lois Lowryis a very interesting book. The story begins in a perfect community,where there is no color, a lot of rules, and the community has sameness.An example of that is that the only one who has books is the reciever of memory.Also, no one has individual birthdays, and all members of the community only see black and white.Some of the characters are, Asher, Lily, Mother, Father,Fiona, and the Chief Elder. The three main characters are, a smart boy named, Jonas, a wise old man called, The Giver, and last but not least, a baby named Gabriel. The book "The Giver" is about a perfect community.In the community, Jonas (the little boy), feels apprehensive because the ceremony of Twelve is rapidly approaching. That is a ceremony where twelveyear old children are chosen for their job. Jonas gets assigned a very important job, but when he finds out the secrets that the community is hiding he has to make a difficult decision.
I would recommend the book, "The Giver" by:Lois Lowry to anyone because this book has won the Newberry Award, and the author has a good writing style. She has a lot of detail so you can picture exactly what's going on, like at the setting of the story, she introduces the characters and the community very well, and at the ending, I could make out what Jonas and Gabriel were going threw and what they were seeing and hearing.

Summary: The Giver Review
Review: 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry is a great book. It's about a boy named Jonas, who has lived in sameness all his life, with his experience in a new life as a Receiver of Memory, will learn what was. He was selected with honor. The preasent Receiver of Memory is very wise, kind, & origanal. 'Somehow he is different,' as Jonas had put it. Jonas is a cheerful, boyish, & fun boy.
There are many great characters also. His two best friends are Asher & Fiona. Asher is spontanious & spunky, while Fiona is sweet & calm. His family unit is made up of Father who is talkitive & helpful, Mother who is proper, kind, & well-manored, & Lily who is hyper, talkitive, & inquisitive.
'The Giver' is a fantastic novel. I would recommend it for anyone. It's easy to read, though there are some difficult vocab. There are a few things I disliked about it. I think the theme is 'be you, not the same as someone else. Uniqueness is an important tool to life' (my advice is to listen)!!!!!

And they are assigned family units! Talk about wierd! When Jonas is supposed to be assigned a job he is,insted selected to be the new Reciever of Memory. During his training with the Giver he experiences love, pain, anger, and hate for the first time. I really liked the Giver.Lowrey gives the reader the feeling that you are there watching everything happen. I highly recomend this book to children 9-13!

Summary: the giver reviewed by Jacqui
Review: The Giver by Lois Lowry is an exciting and adventurous book. Some of the characters you will meet are Jonas,a twelve year old boy who wants change, gabriel, a toddler who is in a life threatning situation, and the giver, a wise, sensitive, old man.They all live in a perfect community in desperate need of change, pain, and love. Everything is precise and orderly. when Jonas gets chosen for a very honorable job,the giver transmits memories of the old world. I enjoyed this book and thought it was a page turner. I couldn't put the book down when Jonas and the giver had to make a life changing decision for the good, or bad of the community. I would recomend this book to kids 10 and up.Any younger and they might not undertstand the advanced langauge. It uses words like chastisment and ominous.

Summary: The Giver
Review: "The Giver" by Lois Lowry is an excellent book. There are two very important characters, Jonas and The Giver. Jonas is a 11 year old that at the ceremony becomes a 12year old. Jonas is selected as the Receiver of Memories. The Giver is the old receiver that helped to chose Jonas. The Giver must give up the memories he received, of the past,to Jonas, even if they are painful. This story takes place in a community that is "perfect" but very dull. The reason I say that is because the citizens are not aloud to have feelings of love and hate.
In the beginning of the story Jonas is an 11 that is apprehensive about the up coming ceremony. During the ceremony his number (19) was skipped over. When the Cheif Elder was done with telling the other 12s their accupation, she came back to Jonas. She told him that he was the Receiver of Memories.

Summary: The Wretched Review
Review: " The Giver" by Lois Lowry is a vrey unusual book. The main character, Jonas, is a very nervous boy. His best friend, Asher, is a boy that is well behaved. Fiona,one more of Jonas's friends, is a smart and caring young women. The Giver is the old Receiver, which Jonas is taking place for.
Jonas is apprehensive about becoming a "Twelve." Becoming a "Twelve" is very important because you are assigned a job. At the ceremony, Jonas's number(19)was skipped and he become worried. But the Chief Elder only saved the best for last!
He became the Receiver of Memories

Summary: The Giver Review
Review: "The Giver" is one of the best novels I've ever read. Lois Lowry creates a world so realistic, it seems you can see and feel what jonas does. The book starts out with Jonas riding home on his bike, and decides he's apprehensive about the Ceremony of Twelve coming up in December.
Jonas lives ina perfect world, and everyone has a number= a one-year-old is a One, and so on. When Jonas turns twelve, he is selected to recive special training from the Giver. There he recives many memories.
Over time, Jonas starts getting ideas. So he and the Giver work out a plan that will change the community. Forever!
After reading this book, I enjoyed it a lot. I would STRONGLY reccomend it to all young readers.

Summary: The Great Book The Giver!!!
Review: "I don't understand it yet,I don't know what it is. But sometimes I see something, and maybe its beyond!" Thats how I felt at the end of the exiting and adventurous book the Giver by Lois Lowry. That quote was made by one of the main charachters Jonas. Jonas has light eyes and Dark hair. He has the gift of seeing beyond with one other person,The Giver. Some of the other characters are, Mother, Father, Lily, Asher, Chief Elder<and Gabriel! The setting of the Giver is in a place of sameness,no color and borindness,just picture the oppisite of our world and you got it!!
I thought the author,Lois Lowry did a great job with detail and discription.I like the suspense ans sadness at the end of the book.The book has an exiting end and leaves you to decide the fate and destiny of Jonas and his friends and family! I was very impressed by the vocabulary of Lois Lowry. One quote that shows that is the following one: "I'm apprehensive,thats what Iam!",by Jonas!
The plot of the book is odd. First Jonas becomes the new Reciever. Then he wants to make his own decisions ect. because of his memories.Then they make a plan!! You have to read the book to figure out what happens. All and all this book is great and I recomend this book to anyone!!!!
