You mean for school?  Because I never read it for school, I used the ole' classic "pick it up from the local library or bookstore and read it for your own pleasure and enternainment".  You shouldn't read the books only because school's make you.  And Gary Paulsen is a good writer, except, if I'm thinking about the right author, most of his books are about somebody surviving in the wild.

You should do that.  Reading betters the mind.

I loved The Giver.

I read that in 7th grade. Such a long time ago! It was a very book. I also liked its "companion" book (it was by the same author), Gathering Blue.

Gary Paulsen isn't boring.  It's just that he needs to get a few more topics on his mind than survival in the wilderness once in a while.

heh, i thought it was a great book. i saw through it early on though. i had finished it well before the rest of the rest of the class. I hope the movie rumor is true, it would be a remarkable film, although i remember hearing about this film rumor when i was in the 6th grade, that was 7 or 8 years ago :p

This is one book that shouldn't be turned into a movie in my opinion... I can't imagine the movie being very good but I loved the book.

You people read?  Anyway, I had to read this at the begining of this [school] year, and I hated it.  But the only books I've read that I didn't hate were the Harry Potter books, books by Douglas Adams, and books by Jeff Foxworthy.  Reading is my mortal enemy.  :o

I <3 reading certain books. I read books by James Patterson (The Womens Murder Club, Alex Cross) which are about solving crimes. They're amazing.

But other books...they can go die...most of them...I wanna read Catcher and the Rye. Sounds emo...

The Giver is much deeper than some may think.

If you're looking for good mystery books, go for Agatha Christie.

Anyone who hates reading gets moved to the Should Not Breed category. Written word is the foundation of society!

In case anyone cares, Jeff Bridges (who played The Dude in one of my favorite movies, The Big Lebowski) will be playing The Giver.

I hated this book. And the other books by the author. There are better dystopias. Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, 1984....etc...
