Summary: It was a good book except for the ending
Review: This book was extremely well written. It has a very intersting plot. They plot was a cross between The Truman Show, and Pleasentville if you saw those movies. The ending was really weird, it really made no sense but it left you thinking about it. Which I like in book.

Review: This book was good for more advanced readers. The plot andcharacters were hard to understand. Most of the characters could notsee color. The plot developed slowly. If the civilization was explained, the book would be more understandable. I was astonished at the end when...

Summary: Good book and kept you interested
Review: This book was great! It really kept you interested. We never got bored. The ending though, was kinda confusing. It didn't tell you what happened after he went down the hill. Did he die or did he live? Did he find the Elsewhere he was looking for? The ending was to undiscribed. The rest of the book was great however! Mrs. Lowry, thank you for writing this book. You made us think!

Summary: This book is a unique and wonderful book
Review: This book was great! It took a while for the story to get interesting, but once it did I couldn't put it down. I think that this book would be great for 4th and 5th graders. The being was kind of boring, but the farther I got in the book the better it got.

Summary: How te Giver made me feel
Review: This book was great. It has a lot of feelings in it. I liked how it was mixed up with sad and happy feelings. I think that it was sort of awkward because of how the town was and how everyone lived. I wonder what the author was thinking of when he wrote this.

Summary: Amazing
Review: This book was great. Those that do not think so just do not know a good book when they read one. Lowry's imagination is amazing and I thorougly enjoyed reading this book. It is one of my favorites. I myself am a twenty-year old college student and had to read this for an adolescent literature class. I've seen the book in the past but was never attracted to the cover of it, so I did not give it the chance. However, now that I've read it I've have a new appreciation for it.Jonas lives in a community where everything seems perfect- no violence, illness, unemployment, etc. Everything has been established so that life is enjoyable and content- yet what it has really created is a world of no emotion and free will. On the day Jonas becomes twelve, he and all of the other children are to get their assignments that will state what they will become in the future- it will train them for professions. However, Jonas is not assigned. Instead he is selected to become the Receiver of Memory and to train with one of the elders of the community. Only called The Giver, this man gives Jonas knowledge, wisdom, and a vision of Elsewhere- the world in which the community has shut itself off. If you like a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat and a desire to find out what happens next, this book is for you.
