I first read this book when I was in 4th grade, so I must have been about 9 or 10. I re-read when I was 30 tho, there was a lot that I gained later in life from the book that wouln't have meant anything to me at age 10.
I am 26 & read the book this year. Honestly, it did not feel like typical young adult literature. The depiction of a dystopian society is far better than the likes of The Hunger Games or Divergent. The book boasts a lot of smart allegories & a bleak depth that goes beyond a children's novel. I will place this bool next to other dystopian literature like 1984, a clockwork orange or farenheit 451 on my shelf
I was 10 when I first read it, but I had to read it again for sixth grade when I was 11.
i frist read this book in 26th ,it's amazing .I am the Buddhist faith I like the author's point of view is very good!
My daughter (12) and I (32) read the whole series earlier this year. Loved them all in different ways. Each are connected, but very unique.
23 before the movie was released :)
About when I was in 6th...7th grade? my friend said it was good so I borrowed it from my English teacher.
I read this when I was 14. It was for high school. There were no sequels at that time. I really need to start reading the sequels.
nine years old, I'm 13 now, and I've read it about 30 times!!
I was 1o when I read the book. I never read the rest however, because I thought it ended quite beautifully.
Lol guys I read this at 13. Super interesting and I absolutely loved it. Only problem is, I can't get a hold of Gathering Blue for a while so I'm stuck pondering The Giver...not a good thing
I read it a few months ago, and I'm 20.
I first read this book when I was twelve my teacher assigned it and I am so thankful she did. It is still one of my favorite books I ever read in school!
Read it at age forty-four...it's time to read it again.
I first read it in sixth grade (age 12) and then read it again in eighth grade (age 13 or 14), when we read it for class. It's by far one of my favorite books that I had to read for a class. One of the few I'd already read. I have the 2nd book, but I never finished it. I first attempted reading it in middle school, I think. I do intend to read it and the others one day. I also wouldn't mind re-reading The Giver as an adult.
I first read it in sixth grade (age 11) and reread a few times since (I'm 28 now). I did not discover there were sequels until after I graduated high school and read them immediately because I always hated how ambiguous the ending was as a kid. I remember liking them but they didn't leave nearly as much of an impression on me as the original.
I read at 8, and yes I understood it.
27! I think I appreciated it more as an adult. I don't think I would have liked it much as a kid/teen.
I read it when I was 10 or 12 but I have reread it multiple times since. I really enjoy The Giver its one of my fav books (:
I was about 10 or 11 I'm pretty sure. It's a good coming of age book :)
I read it when I was 12
We read it as a class in 5th Grade and I loved it :)
I read it this past year before I knew it was to be a movie. I've been wanting to read it since I was twelve or so but never had the time. I've read Gathering Blue recently too and will start on the next one soon enough.
I first read the book prior to reading it to my 7th Grade class. Excellent book...very intriguing. There may be a few touchy issues for students under 13/14. Also, if you have strong religious views (as I do) you may take issue with one or two small parts of the book...I did not personally (reference is made to using birth control). Overall a great read!
I read it in 7th grade, about age 11or12.
I first read this as an assignment in middle school (6th or 7th grade). I recently watched the movie & picked up a copy at a thrift store to reread again (:
Umm I think I was 15 or 16. That was actually quite recently but it was before the movie was released. I loved it!
I was about 11 or 12. My 6th grade teacher read it to us.
I read it when I was 10 and became a huge fan ^^
I was about thirteen...and I didn't like it at all. But I re-read it last year (21) and I enjoyed it!
I read it in fifth grade, but I've re-read it a few times as a side book because it short.
I read this book when i 11 in 6th grade. A friend suggested it to me and i liked it.
I was eleven, I think. We had to read it for Language Arts in 6th grade. I didn't quite like it at the time, but maybe if I were to read it again I'll change my mind.
I read it so long ago! Memories...I think I read it in 5th grade. Maybe a bit younger?
I jsut read this a few months ago at 48. I have to say I was quite disturbed by the story, but I'm considering finishing the series.
Just read it and I am 13
I read it at 25, right after I finished grad school. Since I was leaving the safety of college for the workforce, it really resonated with me.
I read this when I was in 6 grade and I love it.
I first read it at the age of 13
