I think I may have tried out for it, but I didn't get in... no, wait, that was another play. Nevermind.  | | | 11-17-2009, 03:22 PM | #14 | Gifted Join Date: Dec 2008 Posts: 11,958 | Re: The Giver I had to read it in 4th grade, kinda boring. | | | 11-17-2009, 03:43 PM | #15 | Webkinz :) Join Date: Mar 2009 Posts: 880 | Re: The Giver Yes, I've read it. Actually, I have a copy of it. x] I didn't like it much, though. Not my genre of literature, I suppose. | | | 11-17-2009, 07:15 PM | #16 | Zeph. 3:17 Gifted Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 14,185 | Re: The Giver  Originally Posted by ButterCup1994

Now that a lot of you guys are saying that it is a great book, I think I will go back there and pick up a copy tomorrow. It's a great book, yes, but I personally don't think that most 5th graders would truly understand and appreciate the book. It's usually just put on 5th grade reading lists because it's at the 5th grade reading level.

Personally, I think that Jonas and Gabriel survived.

errr the book was REALLY good until the climax then it REALLY stunk | | | 11-18-2009, 08:00 PM | #18 | Gifted Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 2,161 | Re: The Giver I read The Giver last year in reading class, and I liked it. 
I also like that it lets you imagine your own ending, but when I read it, I thought that Jonas and Gabriel died. | | | 11-18-2009, 08:02 PM | #19 | Smiles R Contagious Wiki SysOp Join Date: Oct 2007 Posts: 43,990 | Re: The Giver I have never heard of this book but now that you have brought it to my attention, I will definitely look for it in the library.
