Summary: Interesting by Rollie
Review: The book The Giver by Lois Lowry is very interesting. I think that the book makes sense if you think about it. It is trying to tell us, without actually telling us, how much we take feelings, pain, weather, and colors for granted. In everyday life we may say, "It's a beautiful day today!" But we never do much to show that we care about any of it. I bet if we got feelings, pain, weather, and colors taken away from us we would miss it a whole lot. This book captures your attention and is a must read!!!

Summary: The Giver
Review: I hated this book. It was really stupid. It had no point, and come on a world with no choice, color, and pain. It is totally unrealistic. I gave it one star. Nobody in the community has memories except the Receiver of Memory. I did not like it because I don like books that are stupid.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great, fantastic, and short
Review: I thought that the book, the Giver by Lois Lowery was a great book. I loved it, and if I had the time I would read it again and again. I thought the book made a great point, Stand up for what you believe in. The book also was very boring in the beginning but the author made it more interesting. In the end the author just wrapped it up really quickly and I thought I should have been a longer ending. Overall it was a great book!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Chance of a Book
Review: I thought this was a very interesting book. This is a type of book where the author took a chance, like for instance some people will like this book and some people will hate the book. Well this is a great book for people with an imagination, because the book will seem to expand in the scenery and it is a very creative book. This was a well made book, because everything was well discribed like charectars and their charectaristics. I liked this book because it was creative and entertaning in a way that their cultures work. Overall this was a great book that would take time and charectar to make.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Giver
Review: I thought The Giver was bad. It was boring, and there really wasn't a point. Are assignment for school was to read one or two chapters a night, and it was really hard for me to fulfill the assignment. My mom and my sister tryed reading it, and they only got through three chapters, and then put it down.

Summary: Giver
Review: GIVER

The giver was an exciting book to read. It was a little weird at some times because the culture in the giver is not the same as our culture. I liked the book because it made you want to keep reading it. I also did not like the book in some parts of it because there was no action. The culture in giver had lots of rules that we don't have in our culture. In our culture we have the freedom to do almost what ever we want. In the giver they aren't even allowed to travel to another community.

Summary: The Giver
Review: The Giver
BY Tori Hall

I thought the book The Giver was ok. The beginning of the book started out good but as the book went on I found that it got strange. The book took on a very science fiction sense as it got into the book. The book changed from being a book about a different community to being a book that kept talking about people killing other people with shots. I found it changed around too much through out the book to really enjoy it. And last of all the ending left me confused. I did not know if the main character Jonas had died or if he found A different place or what. I think another factor that made me not really enjoy the book is the fact that we had to read it for school. When you are forced to read something you do not enjoy it as much as if you choose to read it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Giver
Review: I can describe this book as an interesting book because the culture was so different from ours. The rules were stricter and the sameness was unnecessary. But the receiver of memories had feelings and was able to remember all the memories that were given to him. This book was a very exciting book.

Rating: 4 stars

Review: The Giver
By: Morgan Moulin

I thought that The Giver by Lois Lowry was a good book. I tells what a community would be like if it was basically the opposite of what we live in now. I also like the book because it is interesting, and kind of confusing. I think that is interesting because it tells you what it would be like not having any senses or feelings. I think that it is kind of confusing because at times I didnt understand what was going on.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My Giver Review
Review: I thought The Giver was a very strange book. I thought it was strange because their community had so many rules. For example, they become adults when they are 12, and the men have to apply for their wives and children. I enjoyed reading The Giver. I thought it was interesting seeing a whole different culture. Lois Lowry did a wonderful job making a whole different world and culture. I think people should read The Giver because it is a well written book.
