Rating: Summary: confusing; wouldn't recomend it Review: It showed the, definetly, unrealistic life of a boy in a weird world that was confusing.
Rating: Summary: It will freak you out ,but then you are hooked!!!!!!!! Review: It starts out strange and ends even stranger. I read this book for school and did those comp. ?'s to go with it which made it much more understandable. It makes you think about this "community" and the freakish lives of the characters and how much our society differs from it. The cover is a real turn off but the saying for once in mu life was true. Read this book!!!!!!!!

Rating: Summary: This was a wonderful book!!!!! Review: It was a great book because it had true, realistic characters and true ways that a real person would deal with these un-real situations. I enjoyed it immensly.
Rating: Summary: It was ok Review: It was a little good at first but then it started to get boring. the conflict was lame, I could have solved it in less than an hour.I wauld recomend this book to people who like to read hours and wont fall asleep.
Rating: Summary: Weird Ending! Review: It was a nice day and they heard a loud noise. They were scared and excited. Then the speaker went on and the voice said for the people to go into the nearest house and stay there. That was how the story began. Then, Jonas and Asher were throwing an apple and Jonas saw the apple change. Jonas got his job as the Receiver of Memories and his first memory was snow. In the end, Jonas finds out what "release" really means and he makes a plan to leave and go elsewhere. I thought the book was cool but the ending was weird. I liked the book.
Rating: Summary: A perfect book that leaves you thinking even after you read. Review: It was a perfect blend of a young readers book and an adults book. The book is not for children of about 10 or 11 years of age because of the lack of understanding. It was one of the best books I read and a sequel would be like adding a full smile to the Mona Lisa. It has been 3 weeks since I read it and I still ponder about it.
Rating: Summary: One of the most wonderful books I've ever read. Review: It was a truely stunning book. Jonas' world is a gray, boring place......untill he meets The Giver. It made me cry...
Rating: Summary: It was a very good book with lots of surprises. Review: It was a very powerful book that tought us not to take anything for granited.
