BOOK: The Giver

I did a search and couldn't find anything.
I just finished the book minutes ago and I thought it was brilliant. I'm no good at summaries, so here's what's on the back of the book.
Jonas's world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the Community.
When Jonas turns twelve he is singled out to receive special training from the Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now it's time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.
It's by Lois Lowry, so if you like her books, you'll love this one. The book is rather confusing at times, but it has an amazing story.

Oh my god. I read this book for school .. I think in 6th or 7th grade and I fell in love with it. I think I've read it over 5 times.

I saw somebody reading this book in school I was wondering if it was good because the cover was so plain XD [I always judge like that] Im guessing I should give it a scan.

In 6th grade I missed reading it and my teacher gave it to me because she thought I should read it. So, when i moved away in grade seven i gave it a shot...I probably have read it ten times over since.
It's very good, although the ending was a bit...sudden, I wouldn't change it though.
Amazing concept to it.

I read it this year and it is one of my favorites. I loved every bit of it.

I wish we found out what happened. Actually we do.. I forget what it's called, the sequel to Gathering Blue but it mentions Jonas. But meh. Anyways, I think that book is amazing. It was emotional when he had to relive all the memories.

Yep, I read it as a school book. It has some truly interesting concepts about the supposed normal way of living and breaking the status quo, which is also seen in the book the Zahir, which I recommend you read. It was a bit underneath my level of reading (trying not to sound too snotty here so don't go all funny on me) but I enjoyed it all the same.

The downside of reading it as a school book was that we analysed every tiny nook and cranny of that godamn book that it kinda got on my nerves.

Anyway, I like it.

I read it last year for school. It was very odd and surreal. I rather liked it. I think I'm one of the only people who did.

i had to read it last year in 8th grade
and i thought it was brilliant.
confusing but interesting.
one of my favorites.

Read this in my 8th grade reading class.
Hated it.
In fact, it wasn't the story as much as it was the author. The only book by Lois Lowry I ever enjoyed reading was Number the Stars.
