hey has any1 every read the giver by lois lowry? i read about half of it last yr. in school but did not get to finish it with the class b/c i went on a week long field trip to D.C. and the class finished while i was on the field trip. but i have to do a bk. report in english this yr. so i am doing it on the giver. i went and bought the book this afternoon and just got done with it now. it took me from about 2:00 till 8:30 to read it but that is not reading continuosly (sp?). any way has any1 else ever read it and what r ur thoughts about it. it made me want to throw0up when they said how ppl got released...it was so sad b/c they make it seem like it wasn't a bad thing...that they just went Elsewhere, like they say!!! wow... if u have not read this bk u should it is very good although it is sad. and if u have ato do a bk. report it is a classic. (my English teacher will only let us do our bk. reports on classics :( ) God Bless you p.s. any1 can add me to their buddy list! p.p.s. u should really read this book!!! it is soooooo good!!!!
