Summary: Depth at a pre-teen level....
Comment: I first read "The Giver" when I was in the 6th grade (I'm now a senior in High School) and the book only gets better every time I read it. I have read many other books concerning the issue of ideal and Utopian societies. These books are very deep and often disturbing. "The Giver" touches on these issues but in a very chilish and delicate manner which makes it perfect for young children to read. It mildly exposes them to the idea that society cannot be perfect and that the more perfection a government strives for, the less privelaged its citizens become. I can personally say that "The Giver" gave me my first real sense of pride in my country and the rights and liberties it grants me simply for living on its grounds. The story also provoked my first thoughts of appreciation of life in general. Although my senses of pride and appreciation have grown much more since the 6th grade, "The Giver" was a thought-provoking and inspirational introduction to the adult world I was soon to face. It is, by far, one of my favorite novellas ever (and I have read many). I would highly reccommend it to anyone.

Summary: The Giver; a literary masterpiece
Comment: THE GIVER
*****
This literary masterpiece received many awards, including the "1994 Newberry Medal" and "A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year." Author Lois Lowry did a marvelous job interpreting a life without color, happiness, pain and love. The Giver proved to the world that Lois Lowry is an exemplary, inspiring, and prodigious writer. Jonas is a child that resides in a world not affected by pain, but yet lacks the feelings of warmth and happiness. When Jonas turns 12, he and the other children of his "Grade" receive the jobs they will work in the rest of their lives. While most children get chosen to work in jobs such as taking care of the elderly, Jonas gets chosen to fill in the shoes of the Giver. The Giver is the only man in the town that holds memories of intangible objects we see and express. Now the former "Giver" shall pass on his knowledge to Jonas. Will he not be able to take on the intensity and the transition of the life he will be entering, or will he learn the truth, and realize that even expressing pain, is better than expressing nothing. I encourage the reader of this review to fill your mind with the great lessons and passages this book has to offer, or read her other books, such as A Summer to Die or Find a stranger, say goodbye.
