Summary: A Thinker
Review: The Giver was a book which made me think. It was a great descriptive book. You knew what was going on and why it was going on at all times. It was kind of sad though. I couldn't imagine being in a society where nothing changes, no choices are made, and everyone looks basically the same. A world without color? Without music? Without holidays? It portrayed our life, real life, as a fable, a mere legend. Like The Matrix, it makes you think. We're lucky to have what we have in life...especially choices.

Summary: The Giver of all gives
Review: The Giver was a book written by Lois Lowry. I think she was trying to tell everyone that there's a possibility there's more out there than we even know about. The book's about a community where you go to school,do volunteer work, the meals are brought to your family and you have a choice to have a spouse or childeren. Everyone has there birthdays together every year. When you turn twelve they try to help find out what your's good at and what you like. Then they tell you what you'll do for the rest of your life in that community. A boy turned twelve he was chosen to be a very powerfull leader in his community. He has no rules. He findes out what his father does and what things meant in the community. The way things were wants to changes things but, how would he go about that. I think its a good book to read for someone who dont like to read it kinda gets your attention.

Summary: The Giver was a spectacular book.
Review: The Giver was a compelling novel. It was filled with all different kinds of feelings and emotions. From the begining to the end it just kept getting better and better. It was confusing at time but after a while you started to get it. The way they lived was a whole lot different from the way we live and it took a liitle getting used to but I enjoyed the book.

Summary: This is one of the BEST books I have read!
Review: The Giver was a easy book to fallow and did a great job of keeping you intrest in the book the whole time. This book did a great job of explaining the situation befor it went on to another.The book went at a understandable paste so the reader could get the whole concept. The book is diffrent in so many ways and the author dose a amazing job discribing a placing things in order.I really enjoyed this book and would read it again if I had to.

Summary: Wow! Great book.
Review: The Giver was a fantastic book that shows how if a common culture is forbidden thier history the are also forbidden to choose. They do not pick spouses, jobs, children, food, clothing, shelter, anything! everything is provided for them, no fuss no muss. But by the middle of the book you start asking yourself if thid idilic society is all it seems to be. Follow the main character Jonas through his coming of age and discover who the mysterious Giver really is.

Summary: The giver
Review: The Giver was a good book because it was so weird. The setting was very diffrent from other books with the common theme.It has some what a unpredictable climax because of the characters feelings during the plot.Also it teaches a life lesson because behind all those words, it teaches that the future is not good to know but,that you have to wait and see.

Summary: The Giver-Ending?What Ending?
Review: The Giver was a good book. When Jonas became Receiver, and everything leading up to it, it was good. Getting the memories-wonderful description. The great escape- a wonderful plot thickening twist. But when the ending came, I was so dissapointed, I could have thrown up. The ending left more questions unanswered than Full Disclosure. I hope that others can figure out what happens in the ending better than I can, because I want the satisfaction of closure over having to figure out (if it's possible) wha happens to our main character.
