Sara's book Review

The Giver was unlike any book I've read any time because it had a very different topic and thats what drew me in and made me enjoy the book a lot more. The topic was about a future community that has a receiver of memories that holds ALL the memories of the community that could make the community make choices. But things go wrong when the memories start to teach pain and love because he had never felt them before and he is finding out things about the world that nobody else in their community knows except for him...and he can not tell them about reality in the world outside the comfort of their very safe community. The book was over all a very good book but I think it could have gone a little slower because with in a chapter a few days might pass making it a little hard to understand at some points, but other than that the book in my opinion was a very good book and I would reccomend this book to anyone looking for a good book to read anytime, but the book does deal with issues such as death so i wouldnt really recommend it to kids under the age of 10

=Caitlyn's Book Review=

__The Giver__ is a very interesting book. The details are well-described, and the characters are well-defined. This book is.... well..... great (if that's how you'd like to put it).

There are some things that scard me while I read the book, though. [SPOILER!]The major thing that scared me was the fact that Release actually meant DEATH.[/SPOILER!] Another fact that I found hard to believe: what the heck is it with people not having REAl feelings? It's absurd! And so is the fact of the two children per family.

I sort of understand the role of the Reciever, though; but why does everyone FEAR the memories? Sure, there are bad memories of warfare and such, but COME ON! What about the GOOD memories like picnics in the sun and the boat rides?

Bottom line about the community: It's sort of like a community for clones....... but that's just my opinion.

I reccomend this book..... for ages 11 and up. I don't think that the younger kids could handle most of the content of the book.

KATIE'S BOOK REVIEW THE BOOK IS ABOUT HOW JONAS FIGURES OUT THAT HE WILL BE THE NEW RECIVER AND HE LEARNS ALL NEW STUFF AND FIGURES OUT WHAT HIS DAD DOES ( KILLING TODDLERS AND THE OLD). THE CEREMONY OF RELEASE. THE RELEASE IS WHEN JONAS FATHER DRUGS THE TODDLER AND THE OLD.

THIS BOOK IS VERY GOOD BUT THER EARE SOME WERID PARTS IN THIS BOOK AND I WOULD RECOMMED THIS BOOK TO AGES 12-OLDER BUT ANY KIDS LIKE WERID BOOKS THEY SHOULD REALLY READ THIS BOOK.__THE GIVER__ **//WAS AN GREAT BOOK. I AM THIS BOOK. ONE THING I DID NOT LIKE IN THIS BOOK WAS WHEN JONAS FATHER KILLED THE THE TWIN ON THE CEREMONY OF RELEASE. IT MADE WANT TO CRY .THEY ARE KILLING A INNOCENT BABY AND WHEN THEY HVE THE CEREMONY OF THE OLD THEY KILL THE OLD TOO.//**
