Summary: Th Giver
Review: The book The Giver is a fun and interesting novel. It tells of the future being a perfect place. There is no pain, no colors, and no freedom of choice. Everything is just sameness and nobody can judge any person because of their differences. In every community, there is a person who holds all the memories of pain and pleasure. Every once in a while, a twelve year old would be chosen to be the Receiver of Memory
Jones, the main character of the book, is chosen to be the next receiver of memory. At first, he was very scared because the person who announced him being the receiver said that he will experience pain. When he started his first day of training, he felt it wasn¡¦t really bad. On the first day, he met the trainer who calls himself the giver. The giver is a very old man, and he is very kind to Jones. Jones now finds himself learning about the true meaning of life.
My favorite part of the story is when the giver gives Jones the memory of a really good Christmas. The memory is described as a very warm and loving memory. Through the memory, Jones saw a fireplace, windows with snow outside, and grandparents. That day was the first time Jones has ever seen children with their grandparents. I liked that part because it shows the true love of humans. That was my favorite part of the book so far.
That reason why I chose this book is because my brother suggested it to me. He told me that the book was good when I was in fifth grade. But at that time, I didn¡¦t really like to read, so I abandoned the book. Then this year, I finally realized that reading is fun, so I checked out the book from the library. After I started the first page, I liked it. So now I¡¦m almost done with the book.

Summary: The Giver
Review: The book The Giver is an outstanding and terrific novel! I really, really enjoyed this book because the story was so intriguing and creative. It was also a very intelligent and meaningful tale. I think that just about anyone can read this book and get a lot of enjoyment out of it. The only requirement for reading this book is to have a creatively thinking mind that can think deeply into the author's theme of the story. The Giver is a deep, well-written, fantastic novel that everyone should read!

Summary: The Giver was very moving
Review: The book The Giver starts out a bit confusing. But as you get more and more into the book it makes a lot more sense. This book potrays a young boy who is born into and ideal "community." Jonas, (the boy) reaches twelve years old he is told that he will be the community's new Reciver of Memory. This is a fabulous book because it shows Jonas' emotions of the pain caused in his new job, and the pain of seeing beyond.

Summary: The Giver is a wonderful book even though it confused me.
Review: The book The Giver was a great book that I really enjoyed. If I were to express it in 1 to 2 words, I would say it was confusingly, interesting. I enjoyed the book for a lot of reasons. Read below if you would like to find out some of these reasons. The main reason that I liked this book is because the book has its own life-style. The charachters in the book sort of lived in a very individual world, never guessing that a much larger world lay outside of thier boundaries. They went practally thier whole lives not knowing what the rest of the world is like and what different charachteristics it held. Another reason I liked the book is because It held fasinatig details about each charachter. For instance my faveorite charachter, Jonas, was described as a quiet person who respected all people. He was brave and thoughtful throuout the story. Those are only two of the reasons why I liked the book. What were yours?

Summary: Surprised?!?!
Review: The book The Giver was a very good book. Although it had many unanswered questions, I thought that it was interesting trying to think of what could have happened. I also liked the fact that they kept on going back to the beginning of the book and connected everything together to make it a great story. Lois Lowry is a great author, and it is proven through this book. She puts in the story a couple little lesons that could relate to an everyday situation even though this story obviously takes place in the future. Overall this book is superb. I could not put this book down, and it is a short read too. So it can be read in a day.

Summary: A Book That Stands Out From Everything Else
Review: The book The Giver was different from any other book. The lesson that it taught us was having an opinion and being an individual. It makes us think outside the box and it helped us to understand how fortunate we are. I believe this book has a good lesson and is not about courage, but breaking the rules. The author had such good discription and action that it seemed so realistic. That is one thing that isn't always in a book. But, at the end of the book it just ended and you didn't know what happened. Although some parts were good others weren't as good. Like when Jonas said that the apple had changed ,but not in shape or in any other way I didn't know what he meant. Along with when Jonas got mad at the children when they were playing war. I thought that it was confusing with what he felt. It was like he was all mixed up. Then the last part that wasn't as good was when I realized that Jonas's father killed babies that weren't normal. That was very sad. Some things that I liked about The Giver was when Jonas would receive the memories and would be happy. It felt like you were actually there. My other favorite was the Ceremony of the Twelves. That is what I thought of the review.
