Summary: The Giver is an excellent book
Review: The Giver is about a community that has no pain, no wars, and no hunger. Sounds like a perfect community, right? Actually, the community also has no feelings, assigned jobs, spouses, and number per kid. The community also lacks color and music. When children become 12 they are assigned a job. Instead of assigned, 12 year old Jonas is "selected". This means he is givven the job of the Receiver. He receives memories of color, war, animals, and love. Jonas is determined to share these things with the community, but how? Jonas and the Giver, the only other person in the community who can see color, hear music, and who gives Jonas the memories, devise a plan which could save or destroy the community. The Giver is a really great book, but I only recommend it for kids 11 years old and up, because it's really upsetting at times. All in all, a terrific book.

Summary: The Giver is a intriguing book, a must read.
Review: The Giver is about a world that has based there living on utopian ideals. While reading the book many things caught my interest and have continued to intrigued me. One thing is how the author Lois Lowry used the approach of having all the inhabitants in the society believe that they are happy. Lowry started the book as if the citizens were preprogrammed to believe that they were perfectly happy, which is a common approach to many books based the so called "perfect world". The difference between The Giver and other books based on a utopian world such as 1984, and A Brave New World is that Lowry used a mediocre view of the law system that other authors did not show in there books. The laws in The Giver could almost be compared to most of the laws shown in the other books. I thought the book The Giver was a intriguing book, because Lowry used a style of writing that most people have not seen before in a book based on a utopian society. `

Summary: A MUST READ
Review: The Giver is about Jonas, a boy who lives in a seemingly perfect world - with no illness, no crime, and no individuality. When Jonas turns twelve he is assigned a job as the Receiver of Memories for the community. Through his assigned profession he learns there is more to life than sameness. He discovers colors, feel, pain, love, war, and much more. Soon Jonas becomes discontent with his simple life in his simple community and goes on a quest looking for a world that can provide more. The Giver captures the pricelessness of individuality and the cost that some societies have to pay to be different. This is one of the few remarkable Newberies that EVERYONE should read. I strongly recommend this incredible book.

Summary: Young boy struggles for idenity in utilitarian society.
Review: The giver is an absorbing novel by Lois Lowry which transports yo to a worls where everything is seen in black and white terms. It is the same for Jonas, the main character, till the time for his thirteenth birthday draws near. He begins to see flashes of something, in an apple, or his friend Fiona's hair. When he is picked to be the giver, a honored but mysterious and frightning position, things change even more. After he becomes the giver Jonas learns that his society kills non-productive members, Jonas decides to flee to a community lying "outside", which is similar to our own. WHen he leaves, he triggers a release of all the memories he has accumalated as part of the givers job, to the community, and things become more normal.
