I think I may have tried out for it, but I didn't get in... no, wait, that was another play.

Actually, I have a copy of it. x] I didn't like it much, though. Not my genre of literature, I suppose. __________________ ~~~

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.

I also like that it lets you imagine your own ending, but when I read it, I thought that Jonas and Gabriel died. __________________ Where did you get those stripes?  | | | 11-18-2009, 08:02 PM | #19 | Smiles R Contagious Gift Guru Join Date: Oct 2007 Posts: 31,112 | 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.
