The Giver by Lois Lowry Book Summary

In Lois Lowry’s Newbery Medal–winning classic, twelve-year-old Jonas lives in a seemingly ideal world. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver does he begin to understand the dark secrets behind his fragile community.

Life in the community where Jonas lives is idyllic. Designated birthmothers produce newchildren, who are assigned to appropriate family units. Citizens are assigned their partners and their jobs. No one thinks to ask questions. Everyone obeys. Everyone is the same. Except Jonas.

Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. Gradually Jonas learns that power lies in feelings. But when his own power is put to the test—when he must try to save someone he loves—he may not be ready. Is it too soon? Or too late?

Told with deceptive simplicity, this is the provocative story of a boy who experiences something incredible and undertakes something impossible. In the telling it questions every value we have taken for granted and reexamines our most deeply held beliefs.

The Giver has become one of the most influential novels of our time. Don't miss the powerful companion novels in Lois Lowry's Giver Quartet: Gathering Blue, Messenger, and Son.

Cool.. It’s good and all when Jonas fell of the sled 🛷 the descriptions were kind of gory. Also did he really have to throw up 🤮 when he fell of? That seems like a weird thing to happen. The book it’s self is very interesting and makes us question about the future. But just one more thing…. THEY KILL BABIES!!! It’s true!!! The society loves to be equal and if are born they choose the one that weighs less and do what they called being released a.k.a kill people cause they don’t follow the rules aren’t equal or are old. The ending is very good too but is very vague. That is my book review. Even if there are a few problem is it’s still a good book. BTW if you are a very sensitive person who get sad a lot Don’t read this book read something happier

One of the best books. This is a super good book I am reading all of the other giver books and I read count the stars anyways this is such a good book thanks.

Meh. I did not love this because it ended on a cliff hanger and nothing happened until the last 4 chapters

Very Interesting. Very interesting. I would recommend this book.

This book is soooo goooddd!!!. I’m in the sixth grade and I absolutely love this. I couldn’t put this down until I finished and this author is my favorite! ✨✨

Awesome. Beautiful writing, good plot and suspense.

I hated this book. This book is very confusing. Jonas is a bad protagonist, he doesn’t realize that he is literally alone, his friend don’t understand pain and he forgets that…a lot. The giver is annoying being all mysterious. He’s just an off brand, on crack Dumbledore. Honestly, my favorite character was Gabriel(A baby, who talks gibberish throughout the novel) or Asher, Jonas’s best friend who is a minor character.

Awful. I hate this book. Because you actually wrote something about Jonas’ father KILLING A #$&@*&$ BABY!!!! I’m officially done giving a crap!😡 That book shouldn’t have been published in the first place. Why don’t you write a romance novel or something I recommend Walk Two Moons to you guys who read this inappropriate book. In the graphic novel, there is Nudity, Suicide, and Disregard to people who are different. You deserve 1-star. HOWEVER, that one part about WHERES MY SMACK” wasn’t so bad.

Excellent book. I think this is an awesome book and definitely going to read the rest of the books

Good. Was forced to read this book for English class and fell in love with it.

Good book. The Giver was a very intense book to read. It had quite an unpredictable story line, which i enjoyed reading; but I started to realize how similar it was to “Divergent”, another Sci-Fi novel.

Unbelievably good. It gave me a whole new perspective on the world.
