Summary: A Good Book Even if You Don't Read Often
Review: I sincerely enjoyed this book even though I'm not a big fan of reading. With its on-going events and details, I found myself picturing it in my mind and really enjoying it! A rare occurrence in my case! This is a book you can read over and over and still find yourself making up different endings that you think could have happened. Also, with its twists and turns spread throughout the book you don't find yourself reading just to get to the big climax at the end. I salute the author and highly recommend that you read this book!

Summary: The best book ever
Review: I started reading The Giver because my dad said I had to read for 2 hours before I could go on my computer. My teacher recomended it so I went to the library to get it. And wow! I did NOT make a mistake in reading it! The Giver is a book the may seem like fantasy (because it partially is) but its not like the magical world of Harry Potter type fantasy. The world that Jonas (an almost twelve) lives in is one without love, crime, warfare, and feeling. Sameness has taken over. Jonas's community is the only place he knows about. But with the help of the Giver he realizes there is elsewhere.
This book is one of the best books ever! READ IT!

Summary: This is an excellent book to get you thinking!
Review: I teach at the middle school level and use The Giver in my reading program. The students are consumed by the book and beg me to continue reading. It sparks some pretty intense conversations about our own society and why this society might have been created. This is one of my favorites!

Review: I think "THE GIVER" is a good book. At first I didn't understand it , but then everything started to unfold. The ending wasn't what I expected but then I figured out that I could make up my own Ending Its a must have book.

Summary: Secrets
Review: I think "The Giver" is a story which throws you into the action at the beginning and leaves questions behind at the end ,so it's quite exciting. The community and all the people living inside it are cut off from the world we would today call reality. Readind from chapter to chapter, you will learn all about the secrets of the community, step by step, and finally there will be a big surprise.

Summary: Read the worrying future
Review: I think "The Giver is a very good book which touches the worries we have - that one day there will perhaps be a planned society by gen manipulation. And it shows that we don't want that but we want to make decisions and be various.

Summary: this book is great!! it has meaning....
Review: i think 'the giver' is a really cool book. i love the way it takes place in what seems like a whole different world than the one we live in--no weather, choices, everything on strict rules. the way that jonas thinks that it would be a good idea to let everyone share all those memories is great, and the whole book is very memorable. i would definately reccommend it, but you should be a fairly good reader and have and open mind.

Summary: The greatest book ever
Review: I think after reading this book I had a whole new look on things. I really liked this book. A person can feel like an outcast all there life but in the end God or a higher power has a plan for you to fallow.

Summary: All should read
Review: I think everyone should read this book. It had really good idea's about the perfect world. Jonas a boy who is about to turn 12 and going to find out about what his assigned job is going to be. he receives the most important job of all...the receiver of memory. He has to feel pain never felt before and see color in the world of black and white. I think this book was well written.

Summary: A enjoyable, hard to put down book.
Review: I think I enjoyed this book, because I could relate to the main charactor. His want for understanding the giver, and what really happened around him. At first, he was scared and didn't think he had the 'magic' within him. I highy recommend this book for it's wonderful discribtion, understanding of the world, and interesting happenings. You never really know what's going to happen next. Therefore it is sooo hard to put down. Even as the novel ends, you'd wander what happened to him. I love a good book that 'changes' your theory of the world and it's people.
