Rating: Summary: What a great book, none the better as it goes with this one. Review: This is a great book that I liked a lot, infact I have read it more then one time. Each time it gets better and better. It has a childish appeal in the type of writing I like. You will enjoy this book too. Just try it.
Rating: Summary: Great Review: this is a great book with tons of adventure and stuff like that. it may seem a little weird and stupid at first but in the end it is a great book. Read it!!...
Rating: Summary: Choices Do Matter Review: This is a phenomenal book that should be read by every middle school student! It is the story of Jonas, a young boy who lives in a community where everything is perfect. There are no choices that need to be made, there is no pain, no fear, no war. When children in this community reach twelve years of age, they are given their Assignments. This is their life work and it is chosen for them. Jonas is chosen to be the next Receiver, and he soon learns that the Receiver holds all the memories of the world so the members of the community do not have to experience anything other than the perfect life of the community. Jonas soon experiences these memories, which are nothing like the regulated life he has lived up to this point. Jonas also discovers the truth behind "releasing." Growing up, the term was used with the Old and with infants. Being released was always a mystery to Jonas, and when he discovers the truth, he discovers he also has the power to make a choice.
Rating: Summary: Review for The Giver ( i guess uh.... one thumb up?) Review: This is a pretty good book. Our class of 7SR just finished it. i think Lois Lowry should write a sequel, because the ending is like so NOT clear to me and probably isn't for a lot of other people who read this book. Did anybody else in the world, besides my class, find like 1,000 sameness's for this book and "I Am David" by Anne Holm? well our class (of 7SR) would like to know if Lois Lowry borrowed any i deas from that book.
Rating: Summary: Suspensfull and A All Round Good book! Review: This is a really deep, interesting, and strange book about a society that has never experianced love, hate, or even color! This book moving, and I strongly recommend it. It will make you think!
Rating: Summary: The Giver is a wonderfull book. Be ready for deep emotions! Review: This is a really great book. I would reccomend you read it several times to really understand it. It is kind of slow to start, but gets really suspenseful. I really liked this book. When I read it for the first time, it seemed scary and strange, but the second time I realized how much it mirrors our world. I would reccomend this book for anyone who really likes science fiction.
Rating: Summary: One good book to read Review: This is a really interesting book. It makes think about life. I didn't like to read much until I read The Giver. This is one of the best books for a kid to read. If you don't like to read, like me,I recommend this book. .
Rating: Summary: Good Book Review: This is a really interesting book. The theme makes us realize how lucky we realy are to live in such a nice place. Although I liked it there are some things I wish Lois Lowry had done better. The beginning of the book was kind of boring so it took me 2 times until I read the whole book and the end is too incomplete. I could understand if she gave us atleast a little hint of what happened but nothing was said so I have no idea what happened. The end was kind of disappointing but the book is still really good.
Rating: Summary: Incredible! Review: This is a really thought provoking book, and ventures into a realm that nearly everybody, secretly wants. It is very high-detailed, yet the plot reads extremely quickly. There is no fluff. The ending really made me think, and after I read it, I felt a renewed sense of appreciation for the world we live in. Read this. You won't regret it.
Rating: Summary: I am right now on chapter 22 and loving it!! Review: This is a strange book because it takes place in the future. They have all sorts of wierd rules on hair ribbons and bikes and they even have a special term called "release" for people who don't fit in with the other community people. A release is when they kill the person. But I shouldn't give the book away!!!! I am reading the Giver for a grade six assigned book. The other assigned books I have reviewed are as followed: Bridge to Terabithia; The Cay; Sounder {I think I reviewed it!} and others. So you can read my point of view from a sixth grader who has to read these books.
