The Giver Book Review

Title:  The Giver

Prompt:  Book Review

Author:  Lois Lowry

Pages:  0-179 (beginning to end)


I recently finished one of the best books that I've read in a while, The Giver.  It was so good that I finished it in two nights and stayed up extremely late to read both nights.  If you haven't read The Giver, I strongly encourage you to.  It's about a boy named Jonas who lives in a futuristic society or community.  Everyone is assigned a job at age 12 and Jonas receives a very rare, unique, and special job that plays a large role in the community.  What it is, I guess you'll have to read to find out.  But Jonas is incredibly curious about what the world was like before his community.  Would it be worth having the past back?

Books like the Giver are incredibly interesting to me because of their viewpoint on the future.  Some books similar to that are The Maze Runner, The Hunger Games, and Divergent.  All of which I've read.  I recommend the book for anyone within 5th/6th grade and above to read this fantastic classic.  It's quite entertaining and challenging to imagine what life would be like if we lived like Jonas and his community.

  2. I loved the Giver and I think its a really good book too. Have you seen the movie? I liked the movie but everyone I went to see it with didn't. So I guess it just has to go along with what you think. That must have been some book if you read it in 2 nights and stayed up late to read it.
