The Giver review by Emily

My review is not as well worded as Jessica's, I found her review very well written!!!!!!!!! So my review is simply a few thoughts on the book The Giver. First off I'd like to say that I am shocked that this is a children's book. I would love to someday hear a child's thoughts on this book!!! I personally think that "sameness" wouldn't be such a bad idea!!!!! If we didn't know any better than I'd say it would save a lot of the negative effects in life. Although it made me sad that the giver had been holding all the feelings and emotions. And that it had to be passed on to a child who never again would be a child. What a lonely life Jonas would have had had he stayed with the community. And how sad that the adults moved out to a specific area for childless adults. And how nobody had their own flesh and blood children. And how awful it was for Jonas to find out all these memories that he had never had experienced such as love and loss. No wonder Jonas and the receiver before him couldn't handle it. And I wish we did find out what had happened back in the community after Jonas left. I hope that the ending was real, that Jonas ended up at a house that was probably celebrating Christmas and that everything ended well for him and Gabriel. I'd like to not think that they didn't make it, that Jonas kinda went into some kind of frozen coma. I enjoyed this book very much. *Emily
