Summary: The Giver...
Review: The "The Giver" is a "wiered" book. Its storyline is quite unexpected, and basically the story isn't really what I like to read. But it turns out that the sense of the book is of a deeper meaning, and afer spending a while thinking of it I realized tahat it's at least a good Idea for a book. But honestly, the ending could be much better. I won't tell why, but be warned. After all the book is easy to read and quite interesting

Summary: death with love of Jesus or how I destroyed my story.
Review: The author aborts a slow paced delicately written story with a nonsense ending. At the end of the story, Jonas climbs the hill sees the warmth and love in a colorful world of Christmas, family, fireplace.
I did not recall if, there was a big cross or star of jesus on the tree, an old rocking chair with grandma sitting in it. May be we could add a voice- over invoking a Hallmark cards, as the camera pans up and back showing the two dead children on a snowcapped mountain with the sky backdrop of two lone but beautiful shining stars.. A vision of death with love of Christmas and Jesus. I was offended.. I felt ripped off by not being given a thoughtful ending, and felt the author wrote an ending that was as cruel as the murderous cult characters she painted. The reader is entitled to a finish with thought and morality; not this quasi-symbolic Christian hammer of death.
The Beatles knew "Love love, love, all you need is love, all you ever need is love" is great for songs that inspire action not just belief. Action not just suffering. Perhaps the author ran out of paper, or the limit of her ideas, or had just come from being reborn. .

Summary: Confusing but Good Book
Review: The begenning is a little confusing but the more you read the less confusing it gets.Jonas figures out that life was not always perfect from the Giver. It was a great book but I only gave it four stars because I couldn't figure out what happens in the end.

Summary: Bad end
Review: The begining of this book was good. It is a good idea for a book but it seems incompleat. I had to read this book in 6th grade 2 years later i bought it so i could see why i hated it. It's because at the end he is just at the top of the hill looking down. It needs to tell what hapens next. Some books that i read are like that except the endings are writen so that you can imagin what happens. The Giver just stops. I think the book should be rewritten with a better end. Maybe I will write a sequal.

Summary: Ehhhh........Too Slow
Review: The begining was cool and creative, but once Jonas becomes the reciever the book is too slow repetive. And oh yeah, the ending was horrible. Also it is to easy to guess what "release" is.

Summary: The book was good, but very hard to get into and understand.
Review: The beginning was hard to get into. It was hard to undertand why everything that happened in the community had to happen as a group; for instance, the way they did their age groups. Every age group that was in the communtiy had their birthday on one specific day and they called it a ceremony. It was also hard to undertsand why on every birthday they had each child received a specific thing; for examlpe, each eight year old got a button up-the-front jacket to symbolize their growing up. The bicycle, at Nine, would be the powerful emblem of moving gradually out into the community, away from the protective family unit.

Summary: High imagination
Review: The book " The Giver " written by Lois Lowry is about a boy named Jonas who lives in a community where everything is controlled by the government. He's chosen to be the new Receiver of Memory. He starts to have doubts about the system and finally tries to escape. It's a very imaginative book but sometimes it looses the connection to reality. It is a bit predictable, because you can imagine what the end will be like when you've read the first chapters.

Summary: The review of reviews
Review: The book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry deals with a "perfect" organized community, in which the 12 Year-old boy Jonas gets to know the bad sides of his "perfect" world. At the beginning of the book the boring style was pretty difficult to read, also the many new vocabularies made several problems. But the more I read, the easier it got, and in the end it was as easy to read as a german book. At first it was difficult to imagine to be a person who isn't able to see colors and to feel things like love. I also became a little frightend, about the thought that such a community really exists, because before the truth about being released was mentioned, it seemed to be a perfect community; and why shouldn't such a community exist (become true)?
But the more I read I was able to see the things with Jonas' eyes.
A great book, resonable thoughts, nothing unreal, no fantasy at all!
Read it and make your own opinion!
