Rating: Summary: Startling... it makes you think Review: This book I read first in 5th grade, and I loved it. Then I read it again in 7th grade, understood more, and then finally the last time I read it was in 8th grade, 3 years ago, but I loved it. I try to read it about every three years because it is the kind of book that you'll love hte first time you read it, but the more you read it, the more you understand. This book is touching, and it makes one think about our own society and where our future might be. If taken seriously, this book is a work of art, written so both children and adults can enjoy it. Definitely I recommend this to anyone who wants to see a different point of view on where technology and the media might be leading us!
Rating: Summary: Click and buy now! Review: This book is a definate winner! Lowry's magnificent powers of description provide for a capturing and touching tale of a boy from the future.I am not one for sentimental pieces of writing, and this was not one until the end. It is though provoking and gives a new look at the way things might be. Her literary techniques and amazing themes have made this book one of my favorites from the first time I read it at age 9 to many (we won't say how many) years later today.
Rating: Summary: To good to be true!!! Review: This book is a fanastic novel for anyone!!! It has a new waay of looking at things and I couldn't sleep the night I read it. It gives you a reall sense of live and makes you thankful for what you have! A fantastic read anyday!!
Rating: Summary: _The Giver_:A Review by... Review: This book is a good one for teens, so I do recommend it. The author, Lois Lowry, knows how to relate to her readers. Imagery is as important as a good plot. This book has both. _The Giver_ is a book which, I believe, will be around for a long time. Teachers, go ahead and assign it to your students. They will appreciate you for it (maybe not right now). It will make an impression on today's kids.
Rating: Summary: Excellent! A Powerful Story! Review: This book is a great book for all ages! It teaches you to appriciate things in life that you often take for granted- color, sunshine, choices. This book made me realize how important choices are. Without them we are just empty shells carrying out tasks. Even without pain things can be lifeless.I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone!!
Rating: Summary: The Best Book I Have Ever Read! Review: This book is a must for every young adult out there. This book is about a boy who lives in the perfect world, with no poverty, hunger, divorce, not even feelings. Everybody thinks they live in the perfect world, but Jonas comes to a rude awakening. At the ceramony of the twelve's he is assigned to be the Reciever of Memory. The most powerful and respected person in the community. The Giver(the current reciever of memory) begins to train Jonas to become what he is now. He begins to give all the memories of the past through him to Jonas. Jonas is stunned of how the world was so beautiful the world was with color and feelings. So Jonas decides to run away to find elswhere. This book is the best book I have read. Although the ending is a little weird. I wish there was a sequel.
Rating: Summary: A MUST read for ALL! Review: This book is a MUST read for all young adult readers. It is thought provoking and stimulates conversations. It always amazes me how different people percieve this book and the realization that some events actually happen or could happen in our current society.
Rating: Summary: Amazingly Deep Review: This book is a real heart graber. It makes you think in ways that you never have before. After reading The Giver, you will never think the same again!!
Rating: Summary: Memories Review: This book is a realy wonderfull one. Jonas's world is very beliveable and the characters are great. When Jonas's world falls apart, he and his friend the Giver put it back together. I read this book a few months before reading 1984 and it certianly was very similar. I foud that many of my fellow 12 year olds enjoy this book as much as I did, and the end was great. I would sugest this book to anyone who loves a good story and great writing stile. I think this I Lowry's best book yet!
Rating: Summary: The Giver Within! Review: This book is a very deep book you really have to pay attention to, or you'll lose what your reading. It is mainly about a boy named Jonas who thinks his community is perfect, but when he finds out about the outside world, and he being the special receiver of memory he wants to learn more and tell all. I'll stop here, but if you find this book READ IT!
