I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed "The Giver," and want you all to hurry with reading it, so we can begin to discuss it. I'm anxious to read your comments. I read the first 8 chapters last night.
Thank you Mom, I appreciate your motivating post. I had been worried that maybe people would not want to read it because it is a children's book. But it is really an amazing book for any age. I am glad you are enjoying reading it again. I love this book. It is one of my all time favorite's. Love you Mom, ~Heidi~
Oh my heart, I had completely forgotten we were supposed to be reading. (Ironic, since I am busy trying to re-read my possible selection for our June reading.) I'll pick up a copy this weekend. Thanks Johanna & Heidi for reminding me!! I'm excited to read this at last. (Dad, do you need/want a copy? I can easily pick up a copy for you when I get mine this weekend. Lemme know!)Love, Autumn
Okay, finally got, read it, liked it. It was a very fast read, did it on a Sunday (they're quieter here than at your home, I suspect). It wasn't quite what I had expected, but then I'm not exactly sure WHAT I expected. I was sad through most of it, such an unhappy existance. The way his friend was teased about saying a wrong word, teased until he quit speaking for a while, really disturbed me. Maybe I can relate too much. I do choose to believe that he and the baby did make it to a bood place, ALIVE.
I'm gonna try to find a copy on eBay or Amazon. I've never read this one, don't think I've even heard of it before.

ReplyDeleteI just finished it and read it in only two days. It's super fast! Thanks Heidi!
