Did you read the book, which I gave you?
Cxu vi legis la libron, kion mi donis vi?
Cxu vi legis la libron, kiun mi donis vi?
Do I need the n?

It should be: "Ĉu vi legis libron, kiun mi donis al vi?". Kiu means which like in the English sentence. Kio - what. And yes, you need the -n because in the second part of the sentence "kiu" is the object. Doni kiun (libron).
