Summary: my thoughts about the book called the giver :o)
Review: The giver is a very interesting book, it takes place in a small pretty poor community. It is the middle of December and Jonus is going through troubles in her life.
Jonus switches schools for some reason and has to cope with the new students and new area. She meets new friends including: Asher, Lilly, Edna, Roberto, Larissa, and alot more including the Giver.
Jonus doesn't really fit in to this new school so she needs her friends and family to back her up alot. She meets this giver and doesn't know whether or not to trust him or not but in the end every thing turns out relatively good but you'll need to read it and find out for your self.

Summary: Louis Lowry's The Giver
Review: The Giver is a very interesting book. I enjoyed reading about situations that are different than that of one's everyday life. If you are into reading about things that may seem a little strange or if you like science fiction, this is the book for you. Many things that happen in this novel are portrayed in a way that makes the reader believe what they read is true. It is an excellent piece of literature for observing our world.

Summary: Dull world, interesting book.
Review: The Giver is a very interesting book. Lois Lowry does an excellent job in creating an utopian world that takes place in the distant future. However, as Jonas the protagonist learns, this world isn't perfect. The communities are hiding a secret, even from themselves!With an intriguing plot, setting, and characters, I was able to read the book in two sittings, unable to notice the passing of time. When a book is able to do that, we all know it's good.

Summary: My coment on The Giver
Review: The Giver is a very interesting novel about how our future could be one day. There's no individual life anymore but therefore a very well structured public order which makes the life of every citizen in this new world much safer. You'll be surprised and maybe you'll have some conflicts with yourself because you'll realize that there are so many pros and cons.

Summary: The Great book of The Giver
Review: The Giver is a very interesting, suspencful, and meaningful story where it states many essential things in life we don't even give a second thought about. It is about Jonas who is just another normal kind hearted boy preparing for manhood until something very rare and unusual happens that gives him a completly new perspective on life. One of my favorite moments is when all the people going to adult hood are being assigned what to do in order of numbers. When it is Jonas's turn they skip him and go on. If you want to read a very interesting story about a brave boy get "The Giver soon".

Summary: Strong message with little explanation...
Review: The Giver is a very powerful book with a strong message and isgreat for young adults to read. The author portrayed the controlledcommunity in what seems to be a very definative manner, but failed to give a real ending to the story. The message would have been more strong if there was a sufficient conclusion to back it up with. Overall, it was still a pretty good book; I've read it several times.

Summary: The Giver
Review: The Giver is a very suspensful book. It is a great book forall ages. I would reccommend The Giver to be put on a requiredreading list. It will intrigue you from the very first page to thevery last. The author did a great job keeping the reader interested throughout the whole book. The Giver is about a boy named Joanes. He lives in an ideal world. There is no pain, no worries, and no memories. Each person is assigned a certain role and that role is carefully chosen and well thoughtout . Each member in the community has to work in that job until they enter the house of the dead. When Joanes is twelve years old he is assigned the most important role in the community. This role requires power, strength, and courage. This job also requires pain, and emotional feelings Joanes may not be ready for. When Joanes receives his training the world in his eyes is now seen in a different perspective. His world is no longer a perfect world. Joanes now realizes all the things and choices he is misssing out on. This explores human's desire to live life to the fullest whether there are good things like pleasure and happiness or bad memories like war, hate and death. Joanes realizes he is no longer happy and decides to do something very drastic. This decision could deeply impact the society Joanes lives in. After reading this book it made me think in an entirely different way. I realized that even though I do not get to do whatever I want, I still have the freedom to make choices, and ultimately I can choose my own path. It helped me appreciate my world for what it is, and realize that in order to feel true happiness, sometimes it is necessary, as happened with Joanes, to feel pain, sadness, worry, and uncertainty. This book is the first book I have read that touched me to this extent. I hope many other people read this and get to experience what I have experienced.

Summary: Sadly Predictable... yet Strangely Endearing
Review: The Giver is a well thought out book with excellent descriptions, realistic characters, and a strong moral, and yet it follows a depressingly familiar path worn to a rut by Aldous Huxley, Ray Bradbury, and George Orwell. Lowry obviously thought very hard about what would be the most realistic and assessable utopian society and wrote a tight and believable description of it which gives the reader a strong, but not overbearing, feeling that this indeed could happen. Sadly enough, Lowry's ingenuity and superb writing skill are overshadowed by the superlative predictability of the plot. The triteness of yet one more anti-utopian society will probably be lost on reader in the intended age bracket, but it would be hard to cover the fact that Jonas takes a while to make revelations anticipated by his audience, and his readers will be ahead of him throughout most of the book.
