Who else HATED this book?
Dystopia man, dystopia
I know what dystopia is. I actually like dystopia. Just this one I absolutely hated.

Am I the only one who wanted to punch the writer in the face?
Oh I hated the book. I woulda punched the author too. It was terrible all around.

I rather liked the book, no offense to you and your opinions.
Meh. It ok. I just hated it. Really I did.
*gags*
Have fun with the book.

That's ok. We all have different opinions. I'm assuming you didn't see the movie, then?
I just didn't like this book AT ALL and it was kinda weird... I'd rather the book than the movie because the movie just messed things up and it was horrible. The actors and actresess just seemed really old
I'm with MGH101, really wanted to punch the writer after reading this one.
To be honest I don't even recall the majority of the book other than the Giver giving the boy the memories of actual experiences and events that meant so much. That those in their world had no capacity for of any more. And that the boy ran off with the baby. Everything in between is unmemorable to me.
Exactly, other than being annoyed at the end, you would WANT to forget this story.
They destroyed the movie to be honest, and I personally loved this book. But if you hated it, why'd you rate it two stars? Isn't two stars "it's okay"? Or that's three, I can't remember.
The only part I kinda liked was when he saw color.
And the plot was good. But the writer was just bad at writing

Ouch. I love her writing too, but as that other person said, we all have different opinions.

Personally, I didn't like it that much. I've written in detail about it in my review. I have friends who like it, and I can't go tell them, "This book is trash! Only a complete idiot would like it." That would be both unethical as well as prejudicial. We all have different opinions.
Really? For some reason, I thought the author was a boy... But it's been a long time since I've read it.
I really liked the book actually. I like to read about other worlds (dystopias) and I thought this was a pretty good one. It's just really different and they think really different than us. But that's what I like about it.
I thought the movie was kind of strange. I was like, "When did they say that the place was a floating island shaped like a butterfly? When did they say that they clapped by patting their legs?" They didn't say that. They never said that.
Haha
A floating island shaped like a..... butterfly!?
XD

XD
Heidi: Did the book say that? (Island looking like a butterfly and clapping by patting their legs?)
I know right! That's why I was confused. I don't remember anyone even saying it was an island
I loved the book. The movie was great too. Im currently reading the second one. If you want to talk about bad plots and writing it would be the second book. Its really boring but i really wanna finish it, hey maybe it'll turn out okay i dont know
Keep on reading Hec! I love the fourth one.
I didn't hate it...but I did't love it. They only word i have to describe it is "Weird".

Haha, I didn't even watch the movie. The trailer made me sick. Uhm, explicitly the book said he was 13. In the movie, he's like 18. Then he's riding a motorcycle... in the book, he's riding a bike. Then the romance... the red haired girl (sorry, I forgot her name) did not even like Jonas. The movie was so messed up.
Heidi: Ikr, i don't get with movie makers...
Ok, sure some of lois lowrys books are but this one is plain boring.
Yeah, some parts in the book seemed to drag on for forever. The book was pretty screwed up and some stuff that most people don't want to read.
IKR!!!!
I mean like you know what Nike says....
"The product speaks for itself."
(.... I don't even know what I'm tryin to say XD)
