Summary: The Giver, Lois Lowry
Review: The Giver is a well-written and well-composed book. Lois Lowry, the author, deserves an award on the amazing job she did portraying the utopian ideals. This book is truly one of the best I have ever read. Jonas, the main character, is a smart and deep character. I could not put the book down. At first you truly believe that the society they live in is for the best. As you read on you learn more about the community and the way it works. I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys an excellent book.

Summary: Wonderful Book
Review: The Giver is a wonderful book that helps us remember what is truly important. Loes Lowry is a master storyteller who paints a picture of a Utopian world in which everyone is confident and happy but a chosen few. Is this the only way that we can truly be free of our modern problems? The story of the giver is nearly as sad as it is compelling.

Summary: It is a descriptive book and is well written.
Review: THE GIVER is a wonderful book that is very well written and the plot was amazing. Instead of having books that are all based in the same time, THE GIVER was based on the future which I thought was alot more interesting. It was a real page turner and I always thought that I was in the book with Jonas, the main character.

Summary: The Giver
Review: The Giver is a wonderful book. Jonas (main charcter) is a very quiet child. He lives in a community with no pain, color,or free will. He is chosen to be the Receiever, and gets all of the old memories. He now knows what life would be like with pain, color, and free will. When reading The Giver the reader is anticipating when Jonas gets chosen to be the Receiver because the ceromany takes two days. I would recomend this book to children ten and up. If you liked this book read the sequal Gathering Blue.

Summary: The Giver
Review: The Giver is a wonderful story about a boy named Jonas who becomes a Twelve in his community and gets assigned the job of Receiver of Memory. The rest of the story is about his life at his new job. The is an excellent story that you should really read. I thought it was great and I don't do much reading. So if you like reading and you like fictional stories than I suggest that you read this book.

Summary: We can all change the world
Review: The Giver is a young adult book by Lois Lowry about an utopian world where everybody are happy, everybody live in peace an harmony, life is good. At least that's what people are thaught to believe.
12 years old Jonas is a common boy in this society, at least he thinks so himself, But when he comes to the annual ceremony and all his companions are choosen to their common jobs he gets something very special. His task is to become the next "Giver" in this perfect society.
Through his meeting with the old Giver Jonas discovers that his world is breaking up into peaces. His life gets a new dimension, or actually several dimension, and he is given the choice to save his world.
All young adults should read this book, to learn that their life is important and that what they do, the way they live can make a change. To the better or to the worse. But as individual human beings we all have the possibility, and the human right to choose our path. And the way we live is not only ours. We live in a world together with the rest of the creation, and the way we live make us responsible for the rest of the world.I gave the book a four, due to the ending. The ending was short and also kind of weak in my oppinion. But all in all the book was very good, and a must to read for all of us. Britt Arnhild Lindland in Norway

Summary: It was a good book in general but I found it too fictional.
Review: The Giver is about a boy named Jonas who becomes the "receiver of memory" in a world that I found was too fictional. The author sends the message of what the world would be like after a nuclear war. The book also brings out the advatages and disadvatages of a world without choices. I recommend the Giver to anybody who is searching for an excellent fictional and symbolic book.

Summary: The Giver is an exellent book
Review: The Giver is about a boy named Jonas. He lives in the future with his mom, dad, and his sister lily.He is an eleven and is about to become a twelve and will get his assignment. An assignment is a job.He gets the job as The Receiver of Memories and, something very surprising happens.
I liked the giver. It was a good book, because it made me just want to keep on reading it. I especially liked the ending witch you will have to read to find out what happens.
I learned that you shouldn't play god, because it messes up peoples lives. I also think that the school system was cool, because they had more responsability then we do and they get a job when they're twelve. Thats why I think the Giver is a good book.
