had to read this for school, 2 years ago, and no, it wasn't too bad. it was a school book, which made it less appealing, especially cus it had other work attatched to it, but it wasn't bad at all

I read The Giver for school. It was really good in my opinion. I tried to get my dad to read it. He's been reading it for about four months and is only about halfway through it. He's a slow reader. :lol:

I have written my own Eragon Eldest and Brisingr movie scripts, because the one Hollywood did was ruined. I have posted all of them here under FanFiction. Please read them and reply! I am looking forward to adapting the final installment in the cycle once it comes out! Thank you!

No offence you guys but that book was so wierd. I mean they kill people if your too old or if you break the rules 3 times. I had to read it for school but the book was so stupid. I hated it. If you guys liked it i mean no disrespect at all.

I read the book, and I believe the ending was opened to interpretation by the reader.

And I did like it. It was different!!!

The thing is the book makes you think what would happen to you, your blood-family and relations if a group of people had this type of control over society! Would you be able to fight it, and how? Everything is controlled!!!

Good, creepy, scary, thought-provoking book!

I thought that the book was quite good. And it was written to bring about thoughts on a utopian society. That's the beauty of the story. Also, the ending was open for interpretation, I believe.
