The Giver by Lois Lowry



Title: The Giver

Author: Lois Lowry

Stars: 5 the is unbelievably the best book I have ever read

Description: Jonas's world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the Community. When Jonas turns twelve, he is singled out to receive special training from The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now it's time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.

This book is so is so incredible! Lois Lowry is such a good author! The world in this book, is so cool, and imaginary. Lois explains how awful our life would be without pain, without love (in this book it is wrong to say I love you) and without color. If you read this book, you can see how awesome our world is.

Who is your favorite character and why? It would have to be The Giver and Gabriel. Why? Because The Giver is loving and nice. He understands what Jonas is going through. And Gabriel because he is a baby, really adorable!

What is your favorite part and why? Probably at the end when Jonas is trying to get to Elsewhere. Why? Because Jonas is so loving because when he is trying to get away from the horrible world, he takes Gabriel with him because he knows that the people in his world is going to release Gabriel by killing him.

Are you like the main character why or why aren't you? I think I am! Why? Because at the end Jonas saves a child's life. I think I would do the same!

5 stars!
