It took a while to get hooked on this book, but looking back on it when finished reading, it's pretty awesome. Some nuggets of wisdom on death and dying, his normal sick humor, and a lot of creativity. Read it if you can find it.

Intense, dark, bitter, scary. Good. [Very adult themes. I don't think I'd recommend this to my fantasy/sci fi loving middle schoolers--or at least not without making sure their parents were OK with it. Sex, violence, etc., more graphic than in the current flood of YA apocalyptic books.]

This was an enjoyable read. Two 14 year-old boys growing up in a small town in Indiana. One summer when the town's largest employers, a casket making plant, was on strike. The two boys were always on an adventure. It was a fun book.

This is actually the second time I've read this, but I enjoyed it even more this time. This would be great for those who love the Georgia Nicholson books even though it's not in a diary style. Now I have to try and get my hands on the other two in this trilogy.

This was depressing as hell...but if you are grieving I can imagine it speaks to you in unimaginable ways. Plus, the writing is amazing
liked some of the stories. don't love the magical realism. at least not allende's brand of it.

1 thumb up for interesting, non-conventional lead character. 1 thumb down for lamest plot ever.

The excessively rich make me jealous. I still, however, can't bring myself to care about "celebrities".

Its so sad to me when brilliant authors either run out of talent, inspiration, passion, ideas, etc. King is one of my all-time favorite authors, but it has been years and years since a good Stephen King book. I had such high hopes that a set of short stories/novellas would get him on track. A brief synopsis of each story: 1) A husband recounts his story of, when desperate to keep his farm, he and his son conspire to kill his wife who demands they sell it. 2) An author gets a flat tire on the way home from a book signing. The giant man who stops to help her, has evil intentions. Will the author get her revenge? 3) A dying man is jealous of his best friend. When a demonic salesman offers him a "fair extension" of his life, will the man end up destroying his friend in the bargain? 4) A woman discovers her husband's dark secret. The question then arises, what will she do about it? Sadly, these are questions that are better left unanswered given the dull, uninspired prose filling this novel.

The Giver is a Margaret A. Edwards award winner in 2007. I listened to this book on tape. I had read this years ago, but I couldn't remember it well enough to know for what age this would really be appropriate. The woman's voice is very clear and pleasant. This was very eery because this is how the whole community behaves(in a pleasant manner without emotion or stress). To create a world of order and fewer chaos, the community has given up all emotion, all color, all feeling, all memories of history except for one person in the community, the giver. At twelve, each person gets there assignment, or what they will do for the community for the rest of their lives. Birth mothers are to give three births and then do physical labor for the rest of their lives. Nurturers take care of the babies until they are assigned a family. Family units are assigned, not formed by emotional bonds. That would be to unpredictable and messy. Family units may then apply for a boy and a girl. At twelve, Jonas is assigned to be the one and only Giver. He must isolate himself from the community and learn all the memories and emotions from the only giver in the community. Jonas and the Giver decide to try to give back all the memories to the community. To do this Jonas must leave the community. Jonas takes a baby with him on the back of his bike. He does this because he knows the baby will get released(murdered)in the morning. As he escapes the community he give them back the memories and all the chaos that goes along with really being human. The book never really goes into what happens to Jonas after this, but it allows us to think he found a welcoming people who will help take care of the two boys. Jonas never really has a close relationship with his parents because they don't really experience much in the emotion department. Jonas develops a close relationship with the Giver. This closeness allows the two of them to make the decision to change the community forever. This is something the Giver felt he could not do himself because someone needed to be there to help the comunity deal with the chaos. Adults have created an oppressive life and it is up to Jonas to unravel this damage done by many generations of people behaving like robots. I'm glad I revisited this because I don't think this book should be read by those under the age of twelve.This book deserves a 5 for popularity and a 5 for quality.
