[SchumanJi707]

@GotaBrick101 dont see many trolls as polite as you are Lol

[101pinkbunny]

@GotaBrick101 amen

[spony123]

me too

[TheLevelQ]

This book is hella gay I read this book and was like "What the fuck" Like for example the kid takes pills cause he got an erection. And another example is that there is a giver and a receiver I mean what the fuck, gay

This book is shit

[karimoonpanda]

your version made me giggle. i love this book. it's surprisingly deep for an adolescent book.

[penguinboy666]

@karimoonpanda you sould read "Gathering Blue" or "Messenger" they are both of the same series :3

[drjrodriguez]

@karimoonpanda

Funny, but I never thought of it as an adolescent book. I first read it as an adult, and was surprised that people usually read it in middle school. There is so much of life and meaning that I think few middle-schoolers can truly appreciate. I guess we can get whatever we're ready to at whatever age, but I would argue that it is NOT an adolescent book. It is just about an adolescent.

[Imuzaih]

2:53  haha, i like that part...

[Imuzaih]

Thank you for posting this!! Thank u thank u thank u!! I really need it for my English Homework... :D

[grimdeath831]

[harleymama626]

thank you for having this on. but i was like expecting the whole boook. now i have a test on it tomorrow. and i barely know what's going on in the book. do you know anything on youtube or any website that has like an audio of this book?

[Jasamina96]

Omg i have this as my hw and need to writ 600 words about it aaaahhhh

[NarutoSSj6]

@Jasamina96 600 isn't very much, actually. In our class we wrote 5 logs with more that 400 words each. but it was a different book of course.

[MewWolf5]

I love this book. I remember reading this last year.

[lilyurko123]

most confuseing book ever

[free2bme14]

oh i read this the end was ehhhh lol

[12cutypie]

thank you so much for this

but you should read more fluently ... JK JK... thank you this really helped

[thegokusita]

I read the book some year ago.. really interesting and a very original story.. they should make the movie now!

[thesoccergirl30]

i think they are

i hope to see it if they do :)

it be more interesting to know who would be the different charecters :)

[Smileyhatemiley]

I did read it two times, I just thought it would be nice to see how someone would read it. Some people are good readers and make the book very interesting, I was just curious on to how someone would present the book. I am not a 5 year old listening to a teacher reading, I love the book very much and that's all I have to say. Not all people who watch this are lazy and just want to skip the reading...

[MatrixGalvatron]

i just finished reading this for school and finished I love the Messanger

[IvanGold78]

The Giver is the greatest book ever.

[xXJessWorldXx]

[2009PrincessGirl]

i have to do a novel study on the giver :P i HATE THAT BOOK!!!!!

[XtremeGamer20]

bitch... BEST BOOK EVER

[MarioMaster2008]

Some taken, not much though. As I keep saying, this whole thing wasn't my idea. It was a school assignment. I'm just too lazy to delete these videos.

[weronika1029]

LOL

[JackUpKids]

you should read The Messenger which is the next book and then Gathering Blue.

[QuariTV]

its gathering blue next, then the messenger, google it or go to wikipedia and search the giver triology

[SwishScales]

My class did novel study on this book last year. Loved it, but I wish that it had more of an explaination as to what happened to Jonas and Gabriel at the end.

[QuariTV]

there's a 2nd and 3rd part. go to wikipedia and search for the books the gathering blue and the messenger and you can read what happened to them

[12southpark]

Thank u now i dont have to read the book myself

[happyfacercs]

This is my favorite book of all time. Lois Lowry is my idol!

[JacJac1997]

i love this book but it is so boring when someone else reads it

[taiman2020]

good job josh you should get an a on this project

[MarioMaster2008]

I did. As you can see by the date of this video, this was an old assignment, so I'd known my mark for a while now. But I did get an A, which was kind of shocking for me.

Thanks for the compliment!

[ToughSerb147]

@taiman2020 RU JOSHUA SWEET

[sushipurplenurple]

i had to read this book 4 school som 2 weeks ago. this book was rlly good, but the sequal sucked ass

[dominicangta4]

there is a sequel???

how is it called

[MarioMaster2008]

I forget, but there is one.

[sushipurplenurple]

there are 2 sequels. there is "gathering blue" which has nothing to do with "the giver", and there is "the messenger" which features jonas from "the giver" as well as characters from "gathering blue"

[MarioMaster2008]

Really? Huh...the more you know, huh?

[bobbyyoung3]

the messenger

you should read it

[queenofhearts402]

A lot of people say this book is boring, and it kind of is at first, but toward the end it is very interesting. It should be required reading for everyone.

[maimaistwabewii14]

your are right

[nojskoj]

written by Lois................ "lowry???"

xD

[maimaistwabewii14]

yup

[phath831]

[pinkywingy97]

You should hear my teacher he read the book to us and lol he would do voices n all its funny you should here his voice for Fiona and the old ppl lol it sooooo funny =D

[oranges9are9]

I am glad this is up because i didn't want to read it with my eyes

[MarioMaster2008]

See, this way you can play a flash game or something while listening to it. I had to do an audio reading anyway--I got a B on my assignment, if anyone cares, though I'm not sure anyone does.

[MarioMaster2008]

That's not what most people have been saying...

Thanks for the comment, though.

[cuteg1234]

What exactly is this book about?

I might read it...

Please reply someone!

[MarioMaster2008]

This book's about a kid named Jonas who is forced to live in a society ruled entirely by "The Elders." He wants change, and tries to seek it out.

[TheSofterSideOfLife]

its a really interesting book. I suggest you read it

[danceisallihave]

you need to get the words right bub

[johnpaul619]

that book kind gets me creepy

[EmilyheartsMCR]

Lowry?!

[M45H034D4M]

Huzzah, Good reading josh, keep on trekking ;)

[MarioMaster2008]

Huzzah undeed! I currently stylize with Let's Plays, so watch some of those if you find the time. I quite like playing games for YouTube....Adam, because you said my real name.

[MarioMaster2008]

I did, too! Unfortunately I had to give it back to the school libary and can't read it for YouTube anymore...

So consider this my introduction to the book for everyone that wants to read it!

[Smileyhatemiley]

you can buy the book!
