**Review for: The Giver ** **Author: Lois Lowry ** **Review By: Jared **
 * The Memories Revealed **


 * “Something unusual” states New York Times, this book is very different and full of unexpected events. Therefore the book is capturing and keeps your attention throughout the whole book right up to the very last word. Lois Lowry did a tremendous job at creating characters and plot that were well-balanced to piece together a truly outstanding book. The characters add suspense and action to the plot. Furthermore, the plot fits with the storyline because it helps the reader understand what kind of feelings and thoughts the characters are witnessing and experiencing. **


 * Lois Lowry did an amazing job creating characters that fit in and exaggerate the plot. This helped make the book exciting. I personally liked Jonas, the main character, the most. He was a very kind, open minded student. He didn’t get angry at The Giver when he received even the worst memories. Jonas is very easy to relate to because he wants to live independently, I do also. I think that Jonas is an exceptional character but he would be an even better friend! **


 * This book is simply engaging! The plot adds suspense and action to the book, for example when Jonas ran away from home. What also makes this book engaging is the fact that it is easy to connect with, because a lot of people around the world have some of the same problems as Jonas. This problem is “Man V.S. Society”, meaning that Jonas was outnumbered, everyone V.S. him. **


 * Lois Lowry is an admirable writer that deserves more then she receives. She also wrote two other books. She wrote “Number the Stars” which is about a jewish girl during the holocaust. The other book is part of a series called “Gooney Bird”. this series is about a little girl that goes on crazy adventures. “The Giver” is my favorite of all! Lowry won a Newberry Award for “The Giver”. “From thestart, readers are on notice that “The Giver” is something unusual” -New York Times **


 * To conclude this review, I would encourage you to read this book and review it as i did, so that others could read on about the wonders and great pieces of literature written by this author. As you can see, I truly adore this book and multiple others by Lowry. Therefore I recommend you to read some of her books and share what you think to others. To summarize this reading, I would say that Jonas is an amazing character that really adds to this book and helps this book to supersede the reader’s expectations. **
