The Giver

hey my english class started reading this book last week its a prety good book

 

The Giver=PWNSOMENESS!!!!

 

I really like the idea behind The Giver. It shows how ignorant people can be in a society where there is no change, and what consequences can occur from trying to forget the past. Pretty good reading pace, too.

 

My brother is in 3rd grade, he was going to read it, but sadly he only made to chapter two. I don't want to read it though.

 

For some reason I read this in 8th grade...way later than a bunch of people here....

But man I loved reading the Giver. It's one of the few rare books I was forced to read in school, but liked so much I went out and bought a copy of it anyway.

I was always confused somewhat about the idea of being "released", thought that was somewhat creepy. Like, what happens afterward? Are you dead?

 

*shudder* I always figured there was something funky about the release business. Sugarcoated term if you ask me.

I think I read somewhere that the town he came to was his own town, that he somehow doubled back or something.

Gathering Blue is also an interesting book by the way.

 

He survives, the continuation is Gathering Blue and the Messenger. I haven't read them, but my mom did and she said that they lived.

It's a euphemism, like what the Nazis meant when they said "concentration camps".

 

3: I was never forced to read that book back in the day.

:3 But now I want to.

 

I remember reading this book in 7th grade. I actually liked it and now I want to find it.

 

I liked this book, and the two that followed, Messenger and Gathering blue.

My friend doesn't like this book at all, though.

Yesterday, he actually picked it up from the box set we have in class and threw it out the windown. It landed in some mud. Teacher didn't even notice, which is kinda odd.

 

Ah, that book, read it during June with my teacher. Although it is strange by the place they live in, with the "release" but in the end left me trailing. Did Jonas actually die from hunger or was it a dream? Interesting book it is, really liked it alot. But I haven't read the continuation which now..I'm on a hunt:)

 

The Giver was ok. We read it for a 7th grade assigned reading book. I dont plan on reading the next two books :P

 

omg nick(the grim heaper) and i r in school and r reading it!!!!!!

 

I loved the Giver! XD It was one of the best books I read for a school assignment, ever! It really makes you think what the world would be like today, if we had that kind of a society. The book made me thankful that I can make my own choices and shape myself. Yup, it's the best book for me.

 

i am on chapter 16 so it got good for me in chapter 9

I finished reading The Giver a few weeks back, it was a school assignment. It was a good & interesting book, but was creepy in it's own way.

 

my teacher went to see lois lowry (the author and i think i spelled her name wrong) at a speech thing and got her to sign one of our books and yes that was my favorite ive been forced to read

 

I read it this year ( yeah , pur education's pretty ******ed here) and it.was.awesome.

I even sobbed at * the part when Jonas' father killed the baby ;_; it was pretty sad in my opinion.

But it was a great book,best book I've read for school so far.

 

I read it in 8th grade. obviously i was made to do it. but i mean it was ok. i surprisingly liked it, the whole idea of another place like this was just intreaguing. Definitly i recomend it to anyone that has notread it.
