Summary: How the world changes colors
Review: I thought this was a good book, even though it confused me a bit, but it shows the true colors of the world and the people. I feel that this book is a good example of how things can change just by the people that come in and out of our lives. It makes you feel something that someone or something couldn't. This was a good book for the people to understand, love, peace, and the true meaning behind life.

Summary: A Chance of a Book
Review: I thought this was a very interesting book. This is a type of book where the author took a chance, like for instance some people will like this book and some people will hate the book. Well this is a great book for people with an imagination, because the book will seem to expand in the scenery and it is a very creative book. This was a well made book, because everything was well discribed like charectars and their charectaristics. I liked this book because it was creative and entertaning in a way that their cultures work. Overall this was a great book that would take time and charectar to make.

Summary: An Excellent Book!
Review: I thought this was an excellent book because the author, Lois Lowry, made the statements come alive. This book is an adventures book at the end when one of the main characters, Jonas, travels and starts to fell the real meaning of "starving" and I recommend this book to young adults how really like to read wonderful books, this is one of the best books I have ever read!

Summary: It was okay... not the best
Review: I thougth the book "The Giver" was an alright book. It was written nicely. The beginning was a little boring, and it took awhile for me to really get into the story line. Jonas was a fabulous character and was interested in all sorts of things. I felt there wasn't really a need for Asher to be there though. But he was a good character. When I finally did get into the book, I found myself wanting more. When I reached the closing chapter I couldn't wait for the ending. When I finally reached it.. I was very disappointed. At first, I was like "Okay, well there's probably going to be a sequel", but then I realized there wasn't and was a little disappointed. So, basically I was very surprised that I like this book, because I don't usually like to read. So, that is why I gave it 3 stars.

Summary: What about the Giver?
Review: I thouroughly enjoyed reading this book. It caused me to think about issues that I do not normally think about. It also provided an entirely different viewpoint than any that are available in the world today.
The book showed benefits and flaws to a controlled system, one that many people think could work, given a chance. Some of the issues presented in the book, had not even crossed my mind as being a problem or a solution, such as the formation of the family unit and the generalization of age by having one day on which people advance in age.
The Giver also showed what it would be like to experience certain concepts and emotions for the first time, something I enjoyed tremendously. Love, anger, hate, suffering; all of these things were discussed in this book with a kind of clarity that no one who had grown up with them could possess.
This book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys being provoked into thought. It is easy to read, with moderate vocabulary, but is incredibly well-written.

Summary: Reader inspired and entertained!
Review: I thouroughly enjoyed The Giver. I loved the odd little world that Lois Lowry created that worked perfectly. I began to wish that I could live in the village. This book aroused so many questions in my mind and gave me more appreciation for mankind in general! Plus, the ending was wonderful but I won't give that away!

Summary: Perfect!!! Really Exciting and just plain Amazing!!!
Review: I totally reccomend this book. I had to read this book for my English class and at first I thought it would be really boring, boy, was I in for a suprise. This is one of my favorite books and this book actually teaches you a lesson-- Indivuality is very important and similarty is just plain boring. Accept people's unique traits, because that is what makes the world go round!!!
