“This was a great book. I really enjoyed the way the book flowed between Dystopia and Utopia. It was a horrible ending and it really disappointed me the way it left me hanging. I would definently recommend this to a friend if they are getting into this genre. ”

“The Giver was an astonishing book to read. It is about a boy named Jonas who lives in a utopian community. But, is it more of a dystopia? When Jonas was assigned to become 'The Receiver Of Memory' he is assigned to hear about the past and memories given by the Receiver of Memory that came before Jonas. Once he finds out the truth about the community, they think of a plan to escape that community and live into the place far away. It was a very good book, but they left you with a cliffhanger at the end which gets readers' attention. I wouldn't mind reading it again in my spare time.”

• Rated 3 stars

“I thought it was over-all a good book. I wouldn't read it again though. I wish it had gone a little farther at the end, so we didn't keep guessing. It really isn't my kind of book.”

• Rated 4 stars

“The giver to me was an ok book. It wasn't the best because it leaves you hanging at the end. Some parts to me don't make sense and I wish there was another book to this so that you could find out what happened. Besides that though it was a good book about the dystopia Jonas found out he was living in. He found out because he was chosen to become the new Receiver of Memory which is basically getting all the memories of the past and present. Any ways he thought he was living a great life then he learns about color and christmas and hills and all the stuff that the world used to have. At the end he has to make a big decision about to stay or go. I would recomend this to people who like science fiction fantasies.”

• Rated 4 stars

“I liked this book because it has mystery and it can make a good argument about if the community is a dystopian or a utopian. It has both ways because their are things that are wrong but yet right at the same time.”
