Summary: Good, but not great.
Review: "The Wave" is a reality-based story from the end of the sixties, and it's actually quite well done for beeing written by someone who wasn't actually there. I don't even think I would have found the story believable if I hadn't known it was for real. The book is quite easily read but there's nothing spectacular about the author's writing style. The strength of this book lies in the fact that it's true. So many people, so very, very wrong. However, it's not anywhere NEAR flawless; the whole thing feels kind of adapted for English talking highschool kids. Fortunately, this can only cast a small shadow upon the important message; things happen, but only if you let it.

Summary: An awfull book !!!!
Review: I don't understand that the pupils agreed to be a part of what Mr Ross started; The Wave. The pupils should have realised that the experiment was something that went out of hand. They must have read or at least heard about the war and all the terrible things hat happened. I would never submit to be a part of such a group like that. I think this book was kind of interesting because it was a true story and that people really have reacted like this. But it wasn't at all what I've expected. I wouldn't read it again....

Summary: Ain't good enough
Review: I don't like it at all! It was boring, heavy boring. I don't like it because it was'nt funny or exciting. I don't like that kind of books Well, I don't like books at all. The only thing that is weird is that the pupils agree to be a part of Mr Ross expirement, The Wave. It's stupid. That's all!

Bye!

Summary: The wave
Review: I read The Wave in English at school. I think it was good. I liked Ben Ross. I would like to have a teacher like him. He knew what he had to do to get the students interested and how he could make them understand. I think I'm going to read this book in Swedish sometime, or see the movie.

Summary: The Wave: A terrible book!!!
Review: I don't understand that the pupils agreed to be a part of what Mr Ross started; The Wave. The pupils should have realized, that the experiment was something that went out of hand. They must have read or at least heard about the war and all the terriable things hat happened. I would never submit to be a part of such a group ike that. I think this book was kind of interesting because it was a true story and that people really have reacted like this. But it wasn't at all what i've expected. I wouldn't read it again....

Summary: It's not so good.
Review: I think that the book is for teenagers but I don't it's so good. In the beginning of the book you,ve get to learn about world war 2 and you see how the students react, thats quite good. But seriously I would not recommend to buy this book maybe rent it but don't buy it. I think the book became boring. I don't think that you get in to the book at least i didn't, if you don't like this kind of books.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: My own opinion about The Wave.
Review: I think the book is very boring after twelve chapters. The whole book is about the Wave and it's members. I think it's not a good book. It's getting boring because it's about the same thing all the time. But on some places in the book you get excited and want to know more. I think it's okay to read the book in school but not private. I say to private buyers: It's not worth the money it costs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great book...I couldn't put it down!!!
Review: This was one of the most interesting books I have read in awhile. I could not put it down! It is amazing that this is based upon a true story. It's almost frightening to see into the minds of the students and what they will do to "fit-in". A must read for all teachers and students alike!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Wave was the BEST book I have ever read!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I read The Wave in my honors reading class. I really enjoyed this book because I liked learning about the Holocaust. Throughout the book I learned how the Jews must have felt and the actions that took place against them. I thought that the book was a good way to teach students about the Holocaust.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The ending was stupid and the book was boring.
Review: I read "The Wave" for my 8th Grade Honors Reading Class. I did not enjoy this book because of the way it was written. I thoughjt it was utmost boring and the ending was really stupid. I expected a lot more and was really disappointed with what I read.
