Summary: the giver review
Review: this book called the giver is a pretty good book.It shows good realationship between the boy,Jonas and the old man,the giver.
The reason why I like this book is because its diffrent from other books.How its diiffrent is because of the no color and how they get grouped and get a number for a name.Thats why I reconmmend this book to every one who enjoys unusal books.

Summary: The Giver
Review: This book can be pretty confusing but I still love it. About a boy named Jonas who becomes a Twelve and get a assigned job. See this community is perfect. Jonas gets assigned a special job. He meets a man that becomes his true friend. There's twists and turns but it's great. Lois Lowry writes very different than most writers. That is what I love about her. And this book shows her creativity. And if you read this book and finish it, you might want to read another book called "Number the Stars" about a girl named Annamarie in 1943 and her friend is Jewish and the Nazi's a trying to kill them. So Annamarie must protect her friend until the war is over. These two books are works of art!

Summary: Making You Think
Review: This book does a brilliant job of showing us what the future could become if we controlled people enough. It showed each side of freedom of choice. I really loved it.

Summary: A classic apparently
Review: This book does not really have a plot. It is the story of a young boy undergoing some rituals and learning a job in a future society. As it unfolds the nature of the utopian society is revealed. The reaction of the boy is one a gradual realisation of horror. The book is an attack on the central idea of Plato's republic and those utopian schemes that limit the role of the individuals in the society. One would imagine at first blush that this might all be rather heavy going for children but the book is apparently some sort of classic. Reading it as an adult it perhaps lacks the plot developments which other children's books have but presumably it is popular with children as a book which reveals to them ideas and concepts of a sophisticated kind.

Summary: This book will keep you from getting up until you finish.
Review: This book enthralled me with its story of peace, love, and punishment. You will not be able to put it down until you finish. It kept me reading and I felt for them in this wonderful book. When I got up I went to the library and checked out another of Lois Lowrys books. Remember to read and enjoy!

Summary: My View
Review: This book gave me an new view about the idea of Utopia. Jonas a 12 year-old boy who lives in a Utopia-like world. Everything is the same. There are no colors just different shades of gray. There are no injuries, and the people know nothing of life and death. Jonas is chosen to become the Receiver of Memories. He is trained by a man known as the Giver. As he is trained he begins to learn that his world isn't quite what it should be. He begins to understand just what everyone is missing. As the year rolls on he decides that something must be done. He and the Giver hatch a plan to change their world. I definetly would suggest reading this book. It won the Newberry award and in my opinion is a good book. I give it 4 stars...

Summary: Lois Lowry gives an imaginary idea of how the world could be
Review: This book gave you an unsual kind of plot, not realistic but different. There are many things that could not really be, but it lets your mind expand and try to answer all of the questions you have while reading it. It is a great book that teaches you lessons. One thing I learned was that you should never take for granted. There are many things that they do not have in their community that we have today, some we could not even live without. A book that has meaning is good. You learn from it.

Summary: Review of the Giver
Review: This book had a good plot. However, the author didn't do an exceptional job describing the communist-like enviorment. In the "community", where the story is set, everyone works for the good of the community. In this so-called perfect world which Lois Lowry has set the story, everyone is the same. Jonas, the main character in the story, gets his role in the community at the age of twelve along with all of the other children his age. He gets the role of reciever meaning he gets memories from the Giver. No one else in the community has the memories. As the plot thickens, Jonas tried to leave the community so that in turn the rest of the community will receive the memories. I disliked this book since it doesn't relate to our lives and the community is a fantasy world that we won't ever experience. The author also left out a lot of essential parts of the story including an introduction and an ending! Parts of the story were vague.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This book had a great plot, and message context. I felt that this not only told the story but also showed it to me in my mind. It had a terrific beginning, which started, at a very crucial part of the life of the character in this certain place. The wording in the book was easily comprehended. I felt that through out the book it deserved a perfect rating, but i also felt that the ending was a tad bit plain. It needed to go further in depth of what was happening to everything around the character and the rest of the subjects through out the book.
