ReplyDeleteI remember reading this book in 7th grade. I really liked it. It made me think what if this actually happened to us. What would the world be like?
ReplyDeleteUnlike some of my friends, I really enjoyed this book. It had a very eerie tone to it. I have not had a chance to read any of this author's other books, but I would expect them to be good.
ReplyDeleteI read this book in like 8th grade I think. It was a really good book
ReplyDeleteI had to read this book in grade school, I liked it then even though it was confusing. I would probably like it even more now if I re-read it though. Good review!
ReplyDeleteHave you read any other books by Lowry? I have heard there are other books that are set in the same world as The Giver, but I'm not sure what they are. Have you read any?
