The Giver

We had to read it for Lit in eight grade, and everyone hated it, but I thought it was pretty good. :XD I loved the concept.

I thought this book was really good. It's confusing at first, but it's really good once you get farther into the story. I didn't like the ending though.

I had to read this for school and it confused the heck out of me! I just hated it so much. Now, in retrospect, it wasn't too bad. I just remember this book everytime I hear about the Jonas Brothers, because of the protagonists name...:XD

Pretty good (:
BUT I HATED THE ENDING, haha. This is why I don't read sci-fi very often--I absolutely detest abrupt endings/

i had to read for english classs when iwas in 7th grade. pretty good book actually

Unlike most people lol, i read this book on my own time.
and it was good, i liked it.

I read it back in sixth grade. I thought it was pretty good.:cute:

I don't know how many times I've read this book.
Like a million probably.
It is phenomenal.

I read this book a few years ago and personally, I didn't get the ending of the book. I haven't read it since then, so I could probably read it again and get it but when I read it then, I didn't get it. I also didn't see why it was so... life changing, I guess. My teacher said that there was a lesson in the book, which I didn't see.

But overall, I thought it was good but not the greatest book ever.

Hate it!
They made me read it this year, and who in the world does things like that?
I don't think they should have been letting us read it, even though we were 14!
I mean it was scary and gave one girl nightmare's. :(

I'm sorry.
I just hated this book.
I had to read it in english class two years ago.
I couldn't get into it, I fell asleep while my teacher read aloud.
Although, I heard it's supposed to be made into a movie in 2010.
I think.
:/

I read it in sixth grade. It was the most amazing book i have ever read. The ending was wow. :D

I read back in sixth grade, and I hated it.
But then last year, I was at a book store, and I sat down and started reading through it. It loved it so much I bought it. I've read it three times already.
The ending was the best.

Everyone but my hallway had to read this in 7th grade, so I never read it.
Then I got a Saturday detention in 8th, and the teacher hosting it was a 7th grade L.A. teacher. So when I finished my work, she handed me this book and I read the whole thing in a little over an hour.
Absolutely loved this. I don't think I'd like it as much if I'd been forced to read it, but still. :cute:

My teacher gave it to me in sixth grade to read and I loved it... then our 8th grade class had to read it. I loved it so much both times! If you liked it, try out Gathering Blue so you can read the messenger... its kind of like a sequal to both the Giver and Gathering Blue. ...Wow I sound like a commercial

Isn't it a play now?

It started off as not so great of a seller, but hit the jackpot as a play. Same with Wicked by Gregory Maguire.

I loved it, personally. It helped me get through a lot, and let the rainbow of inspiration overflow in my imagination. Gossamer, another book of her's, alsp spoke to me in this way. I absolutely love her writing.

Honestly, the most disturbing book I've ever read.

I loved this book! It was kind of creepy, especially when they told the real meaning of 'Elsewhere', but it was a really great book! I read it in 8th grade, and I think I still have a copy around the house somewhere.

I read this in school last year but I remember my mom reading it to me and my sister when we were younger. Great book, I love it.

Legolas.:

The part when his dad killed the baby freaked me out.

By far, The Giver is my favorite book. It has been for over four years now. Nothing compares.
