Summary: I Loved This Book
Review: I think that the book was one of the best books I have ever read. I don't read that much. The Giver gives a great description of the world that Jonas lives in. I loved the ending. It was surprising and it think about what happened next. I recommend that everyone who loves books read this one.

Summary: Does this book have a message?
Review: I think that The Giver is a good book because it talks about kids changing into adults. In the story at the end I think the message of the story is that the two boys are like brothers and when they leave town it is like they are leaving their house but at the end they return home safetly to the warmness of love and the goodness of returning home to your family after a long day and knowing that they are always there for you. I rate this book as a 4 because at some points it is confusing and at the end you feel like the story is incomplete. Also you wonder if you have been talking advantage of the things around us that we have that we should be glad for.

Summary: Giver Review
Review: I think that the Giver is a good book. I would give it a three out five. It is about a perfect world. You can't get hurt and you have no feelings. You can not pick your job, you are assigned one. If you are the Reciever of memory you can have feelings and you can get hurt. I think that the Giver is a good book. It is for more advanced readers because sometimes it is hard to understand.

Summary: The Giver Review
Review: I think that The Giver is a great book for young adults. There is imagination that inspired me appreciating my life in reality. Although I don't really like the ending, I do enjoy the atmosphere that Lois Lowry created throughout the book. The first impression I have for this book is "incomprehensible". But the more I tried to experience how Jonas feels, the more I enjoyed the new world that was so unfamiliar to me. However, I think that the imaginary world created by Lois Lowry is probably the "ideal" that we human beings wish to have. In the mean time, people do not actually think of the consequences while they're trying to better our society. Learning from the history, communism was the "ideal" for most of the people in the 19th century world-full of disciplines, rules, and regulations. The government (the House of the Old) has the greatest power controlling over people and everyone is divided into assigned units and groups. People are not allowed to read in order to prevent people from learning from the past. There is no individual because they dare to develop human weaknesses-emotions. People's futures are decided by the elders in the community rather by self-willingness. Everyone lives in the same living entity instead of being unique and enjoying the freedom. Although all the arrangements probably would be the best way for all people-without pain, sadness, and worries, I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be the best way for happy lives.

Summary: The Giver
Review: I think that the Giver is the best book. It was very well written and is a very thought provoking novel. I would recomend this book to everyone. It has a reading level at which young children can read and fully comprehend, but it is not to easy to read so it appeals to all ages. I think that it is easy to identify with the characters and it proves to us that a utopia is not always the best place even though poeple always dream that it would be.

Summary: Pleasantville
Review: I think that The Giver was a great book. It has great detail and makes you want to keep reading it until you're done with the book. If I were to compare this book to something it would probably be the movie "Pleasantville." The town that they live in is very predictable and boring. Everything in the town is planned out and scheduled. Even births are scheduled and couples register for a child. All of the people in the town except for the Receiver see everything in black and white. I could see this book turning into a movie in five years from now. If they did make it a movie I would definitely go and see it ten times. This is just a wonderful book.

Summary: An exciting book
Review: I think that the Giver was a thought provoking book. It made me think about what the world would be like with sameness and how lucky we are to have freedom. The ending was a little disappointing. But, it made me think. Overall, it was a very good book.
