The Giver

Summary: A great book that makes you think!
Review: The Giver is a book that makes you think. The main character is a boy who lives in a closed community and he is about to have a very different life. The book is very powerful, but keeps a good story line, unlike some other philosophical books. I enjoyed the book so much. It makes you appreciate everything you have in life.

Summary: Go Go Great Giver
Review: The Giver is a book that mentions a lot of issues that are discussed by politicians and leaders everywhere. The book has an interesting perception of the future. It is a world where there is no freedom and very little pain. There is no pleasure and you do not get paid. There is no need for money in this book. You don't get to choose your job or, whom you are married to and almost every thing is decided for you.
The main character is Jonas, an eleven-year-old boy, turning twelve. That is the age when you get your job. Jonas gets the job to hold every memory ever since the dawn of time. This is amazingly descriptive and gripping story that leads you through Jonas's life as the Receiver of the Memory. I personally like the book because of its writing style and the way Lois Lowry pictures the future. She also does a great job of describing every little detail in the book. This book is like science fiction and fantasy combined.
This book is good. I think you should buy it because it has a lot of interesting details and issues. It also has a lot of problems that we should solve but we don't bother to. It shows the importance and value of life and our feelings. It is sad because there are so many things you cant do or don't know how to do. They are not even allowed to read or know about the past. Everything is the same there is no rain or snow or sunshine.
The book has everything that is important and not important. Jonas knows no pain. Then Pow! Wow! Bam! All of a sudden he feels pain. But he also feels goodness and happiness and for the first time ever Love! I think it is kind of sad that there is no love in the community or the world he lives in. Then Jonas decides to run away. Will he succeed and survive or will he die saving a newborn child find out in The Giver?

Summary: Why The Giver is a Good Book
Review: The Giver is a book that stimulates the imagination and makes kids and adults realize how lucky they are to be able to make their own choices. In the book the community makes all the choices. The main character thinks this is wrong. He leaves the community to do something about it. I think the book is only for fifth graders and older because the younger children would not understand the plot.

Rating:
Summary: This book was pretty good overall.
Review: The Giver is a book that takes place in the future and everthung is boring and dull. They have no color and the same weather all year around. This book was a pretty good book overall. It gets good at the middle section of the book. The beginning of the book is not that good but the middle is good enough so you just suck up the beginning. It is a pretty good book.

Summary: The Giver: Nothing Like It!
Review: The Giver is a book with a lesson that everyone needs to be taught. Be lucky of what you have and who you are. Be glad to have choices and to be an individual.

This novel is an extravagant, have-to-read book. As wonderful as it is, it's also very sad. Everyone in The Community except for the Receiver and Giver cannot see color and they have no memories of the past. When twins are born, the one who weighs the least is Released or killed. I don't think that it is very fair to be killed because you look like another person.

I give this book five stars for its imaginative text and creativity.

Summary: The Giver is the best book I've ever read!
Review: The giver is a capturing story about a boy named jonas and his world is perfect. Then he is chosen to be the next giver. The giver alone holds the knowing of th pain and sorrow and joys of the real world, such as color,and love, or music. Jonas then comes up with a plan to run away and leave some of his memories behind so the other people in his community can experience what he did, too, so they can learn and adjust themselves and have a taste of his world.-Aimee Miles

Summary: One of the Best Books Ever Written
Review: The Giver is a fantastic book to read. It had so much meaning and was a very powerful book. I really liked the concept of the book which was a society that was all black and white. In other words you couldn`t see any color. You couldn`t even feel a breeze. You were assigned a job by the elders like birth mother, Assistant Director of Recreation, Doctor, Law and Justice. The boy, Jonas was assigned The Giver. An old man came and would give him a sort of dream, an image. Jonas could see color and feel in these images.He later found out things; secrets that many people in the community didn`t know. When Joans learned these things he was confused with emotions and decided to do something about these things. Another reason I enjoyed this book is because it`s hard to imagine a world perfect, untouchable, and so protected but dosen`t know that life as they know it dosen`t have to be that way. That there is more to life than what they have.
