Summary: A Remarkable Piece Of Literature!
Review: I was looking through this site, and I decided to look up reviews on The Giver. I was appauled to find so many bad reviews!The Giver is one of the best books I ever read. Those who didn't understand it, or thought it was too advanced for young readers, DID NOT fully understand it! While, I admit, there was violence, and the like, it was realted to the storyline, which makes it all right. And too those who say that parents 'should not let thier children read this book', or something like that- I read it at 10 WITH my mother, who urged me to read it. So it really depends on the parent, the child's level of reading, and personal taste. But hey, I'm justr a 14-year-old kid. What am I doing, telling these adults what I think?

Summary: Makes no sense
Review: I was supposed to read this book for seventh grade, so when I was reading it, it makes no sense at all. I mean When a little girl turn to an 9? what does the nine mean, and in this book this person put has twice, and I would not read this book again, and listen to the person who said only take it from the library, dont buy it, thats why i am rushing to read it. kids like me need a book with laughter, adventure so we kids would read it more, so if you want this book, be careful of buying it, cause this book is a peice of (junk).

Summary: Powerful but be prepared for the ending
Review: I was unprepared for the depth of emotion that this lovely little book showed me. This book is not as famous in Australia and I bought it on the strength of the reviews here on Amazon, but I must say that whereas the reviews do it justice in terms of how strong it is and well written it is, I was not prepared for the tears I cried at the end, and how much the story has effected me. I find myself thinking of the central characters days after I have finished reading it. I need not relate the plot, that has been done very well here, but it is all too easy to think of the things that we so willingly give up for an easy life. Is this a prophetic book? This is certainly an interesting point of discussion. My copy has a commentary by Ms Lowry at the back, and I noted with interest (through my tears) that the book is well read in Germany, where students read it in conjunction with stories of their own modern history, and I thought that this was a really telling observation. I bought this book for my 12 year old daughter, but as she was half way through Harry Potter's fifth adventure, I thought I would read it first, and I'm pleased I did, as "The Giver" is a book that needs to be discussed and the reader almost de-briefed - it is such a powerful book. So a message to all you parents out there - if your children have read or are going to read this book, you need to read it too, and give them the opportunity to discuss the themes and issues raised within. This is not to suggest in any way that the book should be withheld from young readers - just that there will be value in your family to be able to discuss the characters and the future world in which they live. It is a wonderful book - witty at times, and as I said, I cried at the end. It is a truly powerful book that can make you laugh or cry, and this does both. But anyone who dismisses this as a simple "young adult" novel is sadly mistaken.

Summary: The Greatest book of all time!! 5 stars!!!
Review: I would give the book "The Giver" 5 stars because it was very interesting and ordinary. But there were some parts in the book that were sort of inappropriate for young adolescents, Like the part when they stuck a needle through a babies head, which was called "release." There are some parts that are so heart- warming and so touching that it astounded me. I love the part when Jonas risks his life for a baby named Gabrial. This book is highly recomended. 5 stars!!!!

Summary: HOW DID THIS WHEN THE NEWBERY AWARD??
Review: I would have to say this book is one of THE worst books I've ever read! It was totally ridiculous and I hated the ending(If you could call it that.) I felt like throwing the book across the room when I got done reading it. TERRIBLE! TERRIBLE! TERRIBLE! I Loved Number The Stars but this piece of trash doesn't even come close! I'm glad I didn't buy this(got it from school library.) I would have been VERY mad if I did. Don't waste your time with this one!

It is about a twelve year old boy named Jonas who is chosen. He lives in a strict community which he thinks he likes. He finds out what the Community isn't what he thinks and that there are other places. What will he do now?

Summary: My Review of The Giver
Review: I would like to start off by saying that I've never in my life read a book quite like this. I've read many kinds of books and this book is very unique. This story's main character is a boy names Jonas. Jonas is a smart boy and I liked his personality. Jonas lives in a community that is unlike any other; his community is under what they call Sameness. No color, no differences, no snow, etc. Such things would make it boring to live their. But, of course, no one knows of those things, so they're perfectly happy. There is one person though that knows about all the joyful and painful things of the normal world, the world they call Elsewhere. He is called The Giver and was chosen to hold all of the memories of the past that no longer exist in their community. Now, Jonas has been selected to become the next Giver, and he must face the difficulty and pain of receiving memories. The reason I only gave this book four stars instead of five was because of a weird and creepy ritual. You'll figure out what it is. If you're getting bored of normal fiction books, I would suggest to read The Giver.
