The Giver (Mae)
The book The Giver was very enjoyable because it showed us what it be like in a almost completely different world without emotion . In the very beginning i didn't completely understand it. I haven't read the sequel but i hope to read it soon. I would like to find out how it ends. i wish it was a bit longer, but over all it was a good book and deserved four stars!

The Giver was one of the books I had to read for school, so I was skeptical at first. But I ended up really loving this book. The message is beautiful, even if the world it is set in is horrible. The story is paced very well, and always keeps you guessing. The only thing I didn't like was the ending because of how much of a cliff hanger it was.

FOUR AND A HALF STARS!

This is one of my favorite books! I really enjoyed reading this book because i loved the story and the message about how important human emotions and being different is. I liked the characters and the plot was great. I also enjoyed the memories Jonas got from The Giver. This book was very interesting and emotional and i would recommend you read it. It gets 4 stars only because i didn't care for the ending that much.

Unwind (Kat)
~ Kat ~
I really enjoyed Unwind. The concept itself is very heart wrenching and makes you think about things many people aren't comfortable with. The characters themselves are decent, with my favorite being Connor in the first book and Lev in the second, but I always felt like he could of done more with them. Some of the themes in the book are very hard to connect to because of how different that world is than ours, but I loved that because it helped me escape from the real world and made me glad for the way our world is now.
Unwind also made me thankful for my parents :3
This book also does a wonderful job of making the reader feel. Whether it be fear, anger, or joy, the situations Shusterman comes up with are gasp-out-loud-able. This book is absolutely world spinning.

FIVE STARS!

Unwind by Neal Shusterman (Rae)

I liked the concept of the book although the at first it seems a bit far fetched. I would have enjoyed the book more if Shusterman could have wrote the story better . The writing was kind of bland and the beginning was boring. The characters were okay but you couldn't really relate to them except maybe Connor. I did like the different point of views and some of the events leading up to the climax of the book. Over all i give it 3 stars.
