Summary: My Review
Review: The book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry deals with a perfect organized community, in which Jonas, a 12 Year-old boy, gets to know the bad sides of this perfect world. In the beginning it was a bit boring, because they told details about the community and how it works. But then, when Jonas was assigned, it got better and better. The style got better and more interesting. It was not very difficult to read, because you could guess the unknown words from the context, and the more I read it became easier. In the end it was almost as easy to read as a german book.

Summary: My review
Review: The book "The Giver" from Lois Lowry deals with a community which seems to be a perfect world. In the Ceremony of Twelve Jonas receives his assignment which is "Receiver of Memory", where he finds out about the secrets of the community.
I found the book very interesting because this community was so different from ours. Everything was organized and it seemed to be a perfect world. For me it would be unimaginable to live in a world without colours,feelings and memories. I liked the author leaving the end open and giving the reader the chance to imagine his own end.

Summary: The Our comment!
Review: The book "THE GIVER" by Lois Lowry is about a boy called Jonas who lives in a world consisting of rules, without colours, pain and music etc. Our thoughts of "THE GIVER": In our opinion it is an unputdownable book. But we do not like the ending because we excepted a different one...

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: A good book at first boring but to the end interesting
Review: The book "the giver" from Lois Lowry is about the twelve year old boy Jonas who lives in a community in the future. He is assigned to be the Receiver of Memory and gets to know a lot of things from the Giver, the old Receiver of Memory. At first the book is rather boring, but after the Ceremony of Twelve there is a turning point in the story and the book gets more exciting. In my opinion the book is written for people of all ages and I would advise you to read the book, because you'll be shocked when you realize that the things described in the book can come true in our own society. You will read the book and then you'll see all the things we take for granted in another way.

Summary: beginning boring, the end is good
Review: The book "The Giver" has been written by Lois Lowry who wrote many other prize-winning books. Her book "The Giver" has also won prizes e.g. the prestigious Newbery Medal "for the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children". The Giver is a science fiction book. It`s about a 12-year-old boy who lives in a very perfect world in the future.At this age Jonas will get his assignment which has been selected by a committee of this community. The children don`t know what their assignment will be. The book ends very abruptly. Nobody knows what will happen to Jonas. If you ask me it`s a good book. It is very interesting to read what a world in the future could be but I don`t want to live there because everything is controlled. At the beginning it was very difficult to understand therefore it was boring. But if you had read until the middle of the book it is going to be more interesting. At the end you can`t put it away. It`s a pity that the book ends when the story is so interesting. But now you can think how it will go on with Jonas.You can choose your own end either a good or a bad one. And that`s also good. I think you must read it. This book can be read by young people and older ones. Read the book and build up your own mind and I think you will agree with me.

Review: The book "The Giver" is a really great book. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because I didn't understand the end. Some people say he died. Some say he found a new home. This book is very touching though. It is one of my favorite books. It got me thinking about all the pain in the world. I thought it was a great book.

Summary: A very special book
Review: The book "The Giver" is a very good book.Lois Lowry has been awarded some prizes.It deals with the future where everything is controlled by the Elders.The main character,Jonas,is elected to be the next Receiver of Memory for the people. He is the one who received all the memories of the people like color,pain etc.But when Jonas finds out the truth about the system,he flees out of the community. Lois Lowry has shown this action in a good way,she shows Jonas`s feelings and imaginations not only in a positive way. I like this book because it shows,how the future could be.It is very exciting to read it but it also has its boring parts.But I really can advise everyone to read this book to find out some own impressions.

Summary: A Review of "The Giver",Germany/Marquartstein
Review: The book "The Giver" is about a young boy named Jonas,who lives in a perfect world:In his community,which assimilates to an isolated town,there doesn't exist neither pain or hunger nor crime or divorces.As he is selected as the new "Receiver of Memory" he can see that there's nothing as it seems. We think "The Giver" isn't that good.Our reasons for not loving that book are that we are two very realistic girls and simply can't follow the storyline,because it's so confusing.Maybe we have too small of an imagination,but above all the ending of the story doesn't really make sense and so many questions are still left open.

Summary: The Giver by Lois Lowry
Review: The book "The Giver" is an excellent book! I have read it twice, and I am not tired of it at all. In fact, I could probably read it over and over again, because there is so much emotion in it. When I read the book, I became overwhelmed at how society could become so uncaring, how all of the memories from the past could have been eliminated and forgotten. Sometimes, the society in the book didn't seem that far off from our society today, which is a little scary! I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good narrative story that is a little out there and that really makes you stop and think, "Wow, could this really happen today?"
