Summary: The Giver
Review: This fantasy book by Lois Lowry was one of the best book I've ever read. The book takes place in a weird world totally parallel to ours. In that world, there is no hate violence or wrong-doing and nothing extraordinary happens. The Giver gives Jonas the memories and feelings, good and bad, from our world, that don't exist in his world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The perfect World, or is it?
Review: This Futuristic fantasy is very creepy. A perfeect world where erery everyone has a job an assingned way of life. Only a few hold the key to the past, but give an unexpecting boy more than he bargens for. Jonas is a boy who notices he different from the rest of the people. He cannot understand why he id different till December when his placement for a job is chosen and his job is so much different from the rest. He is the RECEVER and the GIVER gives him things he wished he never saw. This book really makes you think about how different life can be and if it could ever be so perfect. I reccomend this book to futuristic thinkers and old enough to undersand the world inside this book.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Great book
Review: This is a absolutly fasinating great wonderful spectacular and intelligent book (isn't it unbelievable Sally? ;).That book should be read and loved by everyone. I read quite a few of the reviews, and was appaled! To think that someone could say that one should save their money and read a classic is HORRIFIC(how silly are they? ;). This book by some is considered a classic. This book leaves a lasting and godly impression. This book was an insight to another culture, real or not, and that is very very very very valuable. I am in 10th grade and just read "The Giver" for the second time. I could probaly read this book fifty times and still discover new things(which makes it if possible--even better ;), as I probably will.

PS: Cu in class Mr.Wunsch

Review: This is a book about a 12 year old boy named Jonas. When he turns 12 he is selected to be the Receiver of Memories. This book takes place way in the future where rules are so advanced that if you break three big ones you are released from the comunity. I recommend this book to all ages.

Review: This is a book about a very boring place, but it starts to get exciting at the end. If you read this book, you should see Pleasantville.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Is a utopian society perfect?
Review: This is a book from another sides point of view. Does everybody have the same views on living in a Utopian society? This book keeps you on the edge of your seat and is quick-paced, From the loveable Jonas' point of view. I loved this book! If yo u like it try The White Mountains!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Giver
Review: This is a book that is colorfully written by Lois Lowry. This is a science fiction book that has a lot of ambition of what a perfect community would be like. I think that this one of the best books that I have read in a long time.
This science fiction book is focus around the main character (Jonas). Jonas a t Age 12 gets the privilege of the receiver of Memory. His teacher is an elderly man by the name of The Giver. The Giver is the Receiver of Memory before him. During his training he is given the memories of the past world. He alone knows what is to feel pain, fear, hunger, and many other emotions. When he se's his father do some thing of complete horror to him he decides that he can't stay in the community much longer. So he runs away with the help of The Giver.
This book is one book that you could read over and over again. It is even easy enough for a 10 year old to read. But in the end this is a good book.
