What readers think of The Giver, plus links to write your own review.

This book is not fun. It is not for a 11-15 age group in my opinion, since many in this age are too ignorant of the past. Some people can say it is thought provoking, wow what a weird society..But I suggest a thorough reading of Anne Franks Diary or “The Testimony” by Halina Wagowska. These are real books about real life dystopian societies that occurred in the not too distant past. The saviors for oppressed people are sadly few and one thing this author seems to forget is the greed and selfishness that make up human nature, regardless of the society or system of government we live in. Human nature is what makes a painless society something truly impossible. Communism promises everything that this fake society does in a similar way, and is probably the closest reality or parallel of an existing society today. Take a look at Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea and China, these are similarly dystopian societies of the real world. The communists never want to admit their system of government is a piece of garbage that only leads to more pain and poverty, with fake promises of equality, fairness and opportunity, instead they infiltrate the educational system and look to brainwash young ignorant people with lies. The product, AOC and others like her. Sadly these idiots are elected government officials, lets see what future dystopia they have in mind. I am not too excited to find out about a world where you own nothing and are happy, but that seems to be the mantra.

Great book!

This book has no point. What is the point of it. All it explains is what the world would be like if it was a simulation. The elsewhere? This place is literally just the real world. The author must not have given very much thought to this.

The words and how the reader put this together is amazing.

Bringing this book home to read, I had no idea what it would contain. My father recognized the book immediately after being told about it a while back by my aunt who had read it. He told me to give him the book immediately, and naturally I asked why. I gave him the book waiting for my answer. He opens the book to a page and starts reading. I was shocked. I had no idea that this would be contained in a "children's book". My father and mother had a talk with my teacher and heard her point of view of the book. She said that that very graphic abortion part in the book shows what can happen when 1 person is in charge. My parents realized that she had a point and let me continue reading the book. This book was great and I give it 5 STARS. It was worth reading. Thank you Lois Lowry for this book. It was written well and with good intentions.

This is the best book i have EVER read, but I like FNaF books better, amazing book

The Giver is a very thought-provoking novel. It perfectly captures the essence of growing up, and coming of age. The plot twists are so enthralling and you'll just get more and more attached to each character, that by the end of the book, you'll feel like you've known them all your life. It ends in a sort of cliff-hanger, so it just leaves you needing more of the story, and that, I love.

At first I was not that interested for the book. I thought it was boring. But after a while I started reading the book in my free times. I always wanted to read more. After I finished the book, I hoped to find the second book. I was a little sad when I found out that there wasn't a second book. After a few chapters I felt so much for the main character. I understood really well what he was living. After reading this book I learned that I don't have to think bad before starting anything else that I've never done before.It may be bad or good. I can decide after starting.
