The Giver

Rating:
Summary: An odd ending
Review: It was a wonderful book. I found it very enjoyable but also very suprising. To chose Sameness over Diversity and black and white over color. What a world to live in. Reading this book makes you look at the world you see everyday in a new light and think of what it might be like without color or hills or real emotions.

Summary: Ok
Review: It was an easy read. It took me a couple hours and I'm a slow reader. It doesn't go in depth as much as it seems. If you want a better book that gives you the same feelings try "Brave New World" or "1984"

Summary: Good
Review: It was avery sound book about a utopia and how it would be like. It was mostly in suspence but at times I found it dull and contrary. It semmed to repeate some aspects. It told about the comunity and how it was like. Jonas reiceived all the sads memories that were prior on the burden of the Giver. He was the one that got the job to have all the memories, happy, sad, etc. If you like science fiction you will absolutly love this book.

Summary: It was boring and confusing at the same time
Review: It was hard get into book because it was moving too slow and confusing. And question did Jonas die or not? This book deserves only two stars to me.The only thing about the book I agree with it's a very "tripped out" book.

Summary: I could not put it down, thanks to my child's teacher !
Review: It was my child's assignment to read this book but as I was just listening to her read it, I got hooked and had to finish it off by myself! It was excellent and I could not put it down! What a great way to open up one's mind to a different way of life. Things are NOT always as they appear to us when we look from an entirely different perspective! What an important lesson for our children and ourselves (parents) to realize. Jonas had a DREAM of freedom and he was able to attain it against all odds! We CAN to ANYTHING if we believe in our HEARTS and want it bad enough! Pick a terrific DREAM for you life and you CAN do it.
If you are looking for something really practical and a very different way of seeing life by creating everything you want right now WHAT EVER you would like (gold medal in gymnastics, horseback riding lessons, turtle, nute, dog, my children's creations...) try "The One Minute Guide to Prosperity and Enlightenment" by Sri Siva. You will need a very open mind for this one because one of the governing criteria is that your life will NOT have any suffering or anything negative in it. It's a great way for children to create the life they want without bringing along all the garbage us adults have! and... it only takes a minute!!!

Summary: No ending
Review: It was o.k. until the very ending. It was very confusing and hard to understand. I personally didn't care for it.

Summary: Uplifting For All Ages!
Review: It would be superfluous of me to write yet another suportive review for this book, which has quite a few already.So I'll keep this short...
This book displays the necessity for individuality in a society and is overall a beautiful book. I read it when I was 15 also, and it still had a tremendous effect on me!(Reminiscent of 'Anthem') There is no age limit on this upstanding story! I highly recommend this to anyone who has yet to read it!

Summary: Not good for fun
Review: It's a good read. Interesting. Not a good fun book though. I hated the ending it abandoned the whole feel of the book completely to me. Don't get it if you want a good book to curl up next to but if your looking for a book for like a report go ahead, it's worth that.

Summary: The Best of the Best
Review: It's a really good book about a boy named Jonas, who is chosen to have the most difficult job in the community: Receiver of Memories. Jonas realizes how much the community has lost. I recommend this book to kids my age and older. It really makes you think and the end is suspenseful.
