Summary: Wow...
Review: I have read this book 4 times, and I like it even more each time I read it. I was drawn in by the characters and the story. It is an orginal book that I think everyone should read at least once. I gave my copy to my Dad to read, and he loved it. It is not strictly a children's book. I think anyone would appreciate it.

Summary: An awesome book! Great time spent!
Review: I have read this book about 6 times and I have to say, every time I've read it it's just been magical. There are some things you read or see that you can just read or watch again and again and you never get tired of it! Jonas was such a courageous boy, so independent. And everyone needs to read a bit of that these days! In a world of no poverty, no disease, no true-bred mother father or siblings, no weather changes, no holidays, no true love. Can you imagine what that would be like? Well, Jonas does, and that's what makes this book so wonderful. It's realism. Lowry can just pull you in, let go a bit, then tighten the rope again. I loved this book, and recommend it for anyone who can read and has good sense about books! Got any comments email me at BEXAWORM@aol.com

Summary: Read this book!
Review: I have read this book four times, but every time I notice something new. If you've read this book, read it again. There is a lot of stuff that is easy to miss the first time you read it.

Summary: Good for younger crowd
Review: I have read this book many times in my schooling career and I believe it holds a great message that should be read by everyone. Unfortunatly i think the book was written for a younger crowd and there are other books out there that better exemplify the plot and meaning of the story. I would highly recommend this for an early reader around the eight grade.

Summary: You absolutley MUST read this book!!
Review: I have read this book many times. It is enthralling and the writing is one of a kind. The plot, a boy in an enclosed sphere of a world where everything is the same, is not confusing but after you read it, you will want to put it down and think about it. I would recomend it to anybody who can read! This is truly a classic.

Review: I have read this book over and over agian because it will never be old. I read this book in the sixth grade and after we read it i knew i had to get my own copy. It was so good that used to be all i read until i read Lois Lowery's Gathering Blue. In my opinion everyone should own this book. It is the best book i have read and own. I recomend it to anyone.

Summary: So Great!!
Review: I have to say that I'm not a person that really reads a lot. I never have time too. I picked up this book before I fell asleep assuming that I'd just put it down not long after. Boy was I wrong. I stayed up all night long reading this book and had it finished by morning! The book really hooks you and makes you keep reading! I recommend this book to everyone!!! I have read it so many times and I still am not sick of it! Try it!

Summary: The Giving book!!!
Review: I just finished Lois Lowry's book The Giver and it was all right. There was no action in it. He lives in a society unlike ours. There is no color, pain, fear or war. At 12 you get your life's occupation. Although I wouldn't want to live in a world with pain, fear or war, I would like to make decisions, like my job, spouse and have my own children. If you want to read a book about a different society The Giver is your book.

Summary: Interesting, well written, and thought evoking.
Review: I just finished reading "The Giver" for an assignment in my Young Adult Liturature 4510 class, and I wish I would have read it sooner in life.With it's interesting subject matter, inovative ideas, and easy-to-read structure, "The Giver" would be an excellent way for youth to study their own culture, prescribed social boundaries, and their own ideas about what society should be like. I was once asked "If a book doesn't get under your skin and make you think about it's content, then what is the purpose of reading it?" I think that Lowry does an excellent job of probing young minds to ask questions and explore new ideas.

Summary: The Evaluatoin of The Giver
Review: I just finished reading the best book that I have read in the6th grade. It is entitled "The Giver" and was wonderfullywritten by Lois lowery. This amazing book was about a boy named Jonas and the difficulties that he faces while in training to become the Receiver of Memory. I am going to inform you about the great and horrible obstacles that happen in this book. I think that it was a wonderful sensation when The Giver gave Jonas the good memories because now Jonas knows what love and hapiness are. I also thought that the author did a wonderful job making it heart-warming when The Giver talked about Rose-Mary because that is when he (The Giver) felt love. He talked about that because Jonas asked many questions about her. It was aslo wonderful that Jonas could feel and understand the Giver because no one else could. My eyes were glued to the book ... To find out what happens with Jonas, The Giver and Gabe read The Giver and maybe you will agree with me that a sequel is needed or maybe just a little more information at the end of the book because the author is not very specific.
