The giver is a wonderfull book with many surprise turns and the best ending I have seen in a long time. We really take feelings, color, and love for granted!

It's a perfect world, where everything looks right. But ugly truths lie beneath…
Imagine a world without poverty, war or pain. A world where everything is comfortable and familiar - a world where everything is the same. No colour, no music. In such a world, Jonas is selected to be the next Receiver of Memory and is apprenticed to the Giver, an old man who stores memories from the Community’s past. As Jonas learns about violence and sadness, as well as beauty and joy, he discover the sinister truth behind his safe existence.
Simply and beautifully written, The Giver is a thought-provoking look at utopian society. It was awarded the Newbery Medal in 1994.

I started it, and it is really good
This book is an awesome book, but it is very slow. If you like a lot action in books, this book is not going to be a thumbs up. That is why I put 4 star rating.
one word.OUTSTANDING! I read this i 5th grade and have loved it ever since. I recommend it to every body I truly LOVE this book.

Jonas is not afraid of turning 12, he is just nervous bc thats when he gets his job.
This book is really, really good. I didn't want to read it, but I had to for school and I ended up loving it. I recommend this book to anyone who likes books like Divergent or about other dystopian societies.
I just started, but nothing really happens yet. Why is Jonas afraid of turning twelve?
I LOVE The Giver even though I haven't read it.But I hear its a good book my sister has read it she says its a good book
My grandma told me to read it and it's great so far.:)
