Summary: A Wonderful Book for any Great reader
Review: The Giver is a great book by Louis Lowry. It is about a boy in a society far different from our own. They have their own rules and don't make contact with anybody out of their community. They get paired up if they want to be parents, and don't even give birth to their own children. This book is about Jonas, a thirteen-year-old boy who is preparing for the ceremony of twelve. At the ceremony of twelve, they are given their jobs that they train for, and later have as their job for life. They don't make money off of these jobs; here there is no such thing as money. There are many different jobs, birthmother or someone who takes care of the old. Jonas got a very unusual job. During the ceremony of twelve, he got skipped and they did not call him up to receive his job until everyone else had gone up on stage and received their jobs. He was going to be the Receiver. A Receiver was only picked every once in a while. It was very rare to be Receiver. He got a new set of rules and in these rules was something that shocked Jonas. He could not talk to anybody about his job with anybody. Every day after school he went to a small house where the Giver lived. When Jonas first went in, he had no idea what he was in for. What happened was the Giver had the power to transmit memories into people's mind. The people in the community had no pain, no feelings, nothing to hurt them. They could not even see color, but the Giver could. He could see color and he had feelings. Every time Jonas came to the Giver, the Giver would transmit memories. This went on for a year. Some memories were the Giver's, and some were from generations. Some of the memories were happy, and some were sad. Jonas began to see color and have feelings. Eventually he could see everything in color and had feelings for everything. At the end of the story, Jonas gets on his bike and goes on a journey to a place where he had seen in many of his memories, a place far away from his home. He went somewhere far, far away. This is a great book and I would recommend it to almost anybody. It is great for kids as young as nine to an adult. This book is not good for people who only love action books or mystery books. This book is great for anybody who loves to read good writing. The Giver also has a very unusual plot. All and all, this is a great book for any true reader.

Summary: The Giver is an outstanding book!
Review: The Giver is a great book for ages 8 and up. It's a book about never giving up and doing what you belive. In the society that Jonas lives in everything is the same. No one can see color and they have many rules that they have to live by. It is very interesting the way that these people live compared to the way that we live today. This is the one book that I have read and enjoyed. Once you pick it up you wont be able to put it down.

Summary: The Giver
Review: The Giver is a great book for all ages. It's stated in the future where everything has changed. Your families are picked for you, there is no more music, or colors. People don't even get to pick their jobs in this weird land. Only one person get's the spiecal gift to live in the past, hold memories of how it used to be, see the colors, hear the wonderful music. Although you may think you want this job once you get it, it might not seem so great anymore. Holding everyones memorys of horor and pain so they don't... not being able to talk with your friends about what you did at work that day. Do you actully want that job? The boy in this story decided he wanted to leave run away and not turn back. Break the bubble scientist had made so that people wouldn't feel anything, no feelings, have any pain or great happyness.

Summary: You will definitely love this book!
Review: The Giver is a great book to read no matter what age you are. I read this book in my 6th grade English class and I loved it. We had been reading books all year in there, and when we got to this book, my friends and I never complained about having to read it. We all loved it, and most of us even have read it again in our spare time. Everyone in my class (not just my friends) said after that year of reading that this was by far the best book we had read. It had great suspense and a amazing plot. I read science fiction books like this all the time now. I am now in 7th grade, and all of my friends and I keep asking our teacher if we can read a book just like The Giver. I think anyone could really enjoy this book.

Summary: Lois Lowry writes a great book
Review: The Giver is a great book which you most likely have heard people talk about. It is a suspensful book which you won't want to miss. The main character of the book, Jonas, lives in a community where EVERYTHING is controlled by the government. THere is an endless list of rules which every citizen of the community has to follow every second of the day. There is one rule in which every child that bocomes twelve is given a job for the community. Every adult was assigned one when they were twelve. There were jobs like the Nurturer of Babies, THe speaker, and so on. When Jonas is assigned his job, you will not believe what it is. His job (like all jobs) needs special training. His training is painful at some times, and joyful at others. Then, Jonas accidently gives something that can be harmful to a baby, Gabriel. Then, Jonas, and the person Jonas receives training from for his job, plan an escape that breaks tons of the community rules. What is Jonas's job? What is the plan? Read this wonderful book to find out.

Summary: One of the best Stories i ever read
Review: The Giver is a great book. In the community there is no war, no fear, no pain. There are no choices and no feelings. When you turn 12 in the community, you are assingned a special role. Each job is important to the community. When the time comes for Jonas to be assigned, he gets chosen to be the Reciever. The former reciever, now called the Giver, holds the memories of the true pain and pleasures of the community. The Giver now must give the memories to Jonas and then Jonas will become the Giver. I liked this book mainly because of its plot and descrition. Lois Lowry has a lot of talent in writting a descriptive book. I found one paragraph with so much description. Every sentance had at least two or three descriptive words. Read it. I guarantee you will enjoy it as much as I did!

Summary: The Giver--A great read!!
Review: The Giver is a great book. It allows a person to stretch their imagination, and step into a futuristic world. This is a great book for everyone to read! I read this book when I was 13, and I just read it again at the age of 18, and I enjoyed as much the second time as I did the first!
Reading this book will make you feel fortunate to live in a free, liberal, open society. I bet you have never thought what the world would be like with out color, or music, or even love. This book will help your mind wonder into a place where none of these things exist.
I highly recommend The Giver to anyone looking to read a great book!!

Review: The Giver is a great book. It is about a boy name Jonas who lives in a perfect world. They have no war or crime. Every person in the community is assigned a role in the community. When Jonas is assigned his role he singled out to get special training. He learns the pain and greatness of the world elsewhere. I would recommend this book to anyone.
