Summary: The Giver -Review-
Review: I think I like the book. It's an extraordinary story about a boy called Jonas who lives in an imaginary future world. One day he experiences what life really means and what makes it worth living, so Jonas makes an important decision with far-reaching consequences for the community and himself. When I read the first few pages I didn't even expect what direction the story may take. I thought it was a lovestory as Jonas seems to have an eye on his friend Fiona. Maybe it was a story about friendship or just a simple fantasy-story. I was really surprised and of course very excited when, step by step, the story was revealed to me.

Review: I think I missed a chapter or something because it was confusing.
It was about Jonas, a 12 year old boy, who,with the rest of his classmates, gets assigned a job. His is to keep all the memories of the world, and the whole community doesn't feel a thing. Everything the people do, is routine. They do the samething everyday. Any person, baby to elder, will get "released" from the community if they did not meet the towns expectations. One day Jonas watches a baby being "released" then he decides to run away from his community with a two year old named Gaberail to a different town. It also comes with a very weird ending. I wouldn't recommend this book to people who like excitement.

Summary: The Giver
Review: I think that "THE GIVER" was a sad story, but I also think that this book could be better. The way I support my opinion is, it was sad because the dad killed the little boy. I think that it could be better by finishing or writing a sequel because at the end of the book, the story just cuts off. **** 7.3 CT

Summary: The Giver - a book to remember
Review: I think that "The Giver" was a very good book. It was well written and had a good meaning. In this book, Jonas shows a lot of courage and determination. He does not leave just for himself and Gabe; he leaves for the whole community. Some examples of courage were when he decided to leave the community. He had left his dwelling at night, taken a new child and had stolen food from the community. He knew that if he was caught, he would be condemed. That showed a lot of courage. He also showed determination by not giving up. He could have turned back any time and went back to the community, but he was determined. He knew what he had to do. 7.3AAM

Summary: Disturbing, but incredible
Review: I think that any one who is old enough to really "get" this book should enjoy it. I loved everything in the book except the ending, which is the most controversial part of the read, and even that is pretty good. A nice "Write your own ending" and "What-If" book, and it also makes you think. Check it out.

Summary: The Giver-Good now,Good forever
Review: I think that Lois Lowry's,The Giver, was a great work of creativity and imagination. The way that she used the importance of human interaction, choices, change, and other themes, helped the book flow and gave it a good lesson in the process of a great story. The whole idea of the signifigant role a young boy plays in changing a whole community just blows you away. There is, I think, a down side or two to The Giver. In the end... I meen she should have put just one more chapter in there or write a sequal, to tell us what happened to him and Gabe, if they died and what not. It was an overall good book, and I gave it a goog word for future readers of America.(children of corse). And give it two thumbs up.

Summary: Very interesting book about a new world
Review: I think that Lois Lowrys "the Giver" should be read by everyone. She describes the new world exactly and you can imagine everything. You get many information about Jonas, the main character of this book, and his life in that community, his problems etc. I dislike the beginning of this book, because it is boring but don't give up. later it becomes more and more exciting and you can't stop reading, until you reach the last page. This book is written in an easy language and because of this it is easy to understand, even for younger people. It was a great experience to read this book.

Review: I think that overall The Giver is a fantastic book. It had all kinds of genres to it. It had at least three. For instance it had fiction, suspense, and sadness.
The fictional part about it was that none of this could have ever happened in real life except for the more logical things like food and clothing. The suspense was at the end of the bool when Jonas and Gabriel ran away. It had you keep reading to see if they would survive. It was sad because if someone had twins the lightest one would be killed(Released) and there's no freedom in the Community.

Summary: I think that overall The Giver was an interesting book.
Review: I think that overall The Giver was an interesting and suspenceful book.It's interesting in the way that the town is so organized. They get assigned jobs. They can't see color and they get put in a family. They also have to tell their dreams if they had any. It was a hard book to understand sometimes like when people got released. It was also hard to understand how much freedom they don't get. It was suspenceful in many ways. One time when they were at the ceremony waiting for their tasks. And another time when Jonas (a main character) was going to The Giver while wondering what they meant by pain. And finally, the time when they could never get to Elsewhere. One of many lifes lessons that I thought of while reading was to never give up. When Jonas was biking to Elsewhere he knew not to give up and that ti was somewhere. I would strongly suggest this book to anyone over 12 years of age because sometimes it is hard to follow along.
