Summary: One of the Best Books I have ever read.!!!!
Review: One of the most Interesting books of my lifetime!

Rating:
Summary: It is an excellent book that should be read by everyone.
Review: In my opinion, The Wave was a powerfully moving book. It talked about how some things in history were so powerful, that even today they can cause horrid actions to take place. Last year my eighth grade class read this book and I think that not one person wasn't effected in some way by this book. It also taught me ever more about the horrible things that happened in WW2 and about Hitler's power. If you want a fiction book that not only is entertaining, but is very informative at the same time, read The Wave

Rating:
Summary: Very, very good
Review: A very good book that explains how things worked in Hitler's time. This book should be read as an assignment in every school talking about Hitler and WWII. I am a German and I read the german version of the book. As a German, it is of quite an importance to know about the Nazi time.

A must-read for everybody - not only for kids & teens! (My father read it too and found it great, either.)

Summary: This book truly teaches us that history can repeat itself
Review: I enjoyed reading this book. It explored on the concept that humans can repeat past mistakes. I could not put it down. It was great from the beginning to end. I want to read it again and own a copy of it. It is an important book for school. It teaches students to be aware of past mistakes and that they can repeat themselves if we are not careful. I first read this book in shool. It would make a fine addition to anyone's book collection. The auther did excellent work in researching and in writing. The book teaches that someone or a group can make a difference, good or bad. Also teaches about morals. That is why I chose to give it five stars.

Review: This book has really answered alot of the questions that children may encounter while learning about WWII. It provides clear answers to the reasons of why anybody could let happen what happened in Nazi Germany during WWII. This is a sensational book and I would recomend it to everybody.

Summary: An answer to the question asked about any war: "HOW" !
Review: I am an 8th grade student who read the book "The Wave" as a school assignment. Finally, a children's author gives a clearer answer to the question all kids have about the Holocaust: "How could people be so stupid and so easily brainwashed?" Thank you for explaining the unexplainable, Mr. Strasser. P.S. If anyone reading this has any other information about Todd Strasser or about his motivation for writing this book, please let me know!

Summary: A thought-provoking account...relevant to today's issues.
Review: For the past 10 years, I have included The Wave in my curriculum for junior high gifted students before their class trip to Washington, DC. The story helps them understand the feelings of empowerment that come from belonging to a group. Though 30 years old, the story is relevant to the social issues and events of today. The Wave is an ideal adolescent text to use as a springboard for discussions about individual thought, gang activity, and the psychology of propaganda.
