The Giver was an amazing book. Growing up my mom always read it to her 5th grade class and I always wanted to read it. I had tried a number of times but I never could get into it. Everyone always told me to keep reading and I would get hooked so this time around I did. And I sure did get hooked. It’s just a good book. However, I was not pleased with the ending. I felt like all of sudden it was over and that was that. The book was written so beautifully written but then it seemed like she ran out of time or the editor was pushing her to get it done.

Another thing I thought was interesting was that people think that they die at the end of the book. That thought never even entered my mind. I just assumed they got to the real world. I love going to class though and learning different ways to look at the books we read. My friends think I’m annoying though because I come home and want to tell them all the theories about each book and sometimes each chapter. : )
