Review: I think that The Wave was a pretty good book... It was really interesting,and it had a good topic to read about.It's one of those books you can really get into, and I usually don't get into alot of books. It was really good-:) Some of the parts were a little off, but other than that I liked reading it:)

Review: This book was very disappointing. It had many Grammar errors. This book was about history but VERY, VERY boring history.

Summary: Amazing!
Review: This book is a fictionalized account of a real experiment that happened in one high school called "The Wave". It is really well-written and you can just feel the angst of the kids involved. I really thought the teacher should have been fired. I have half a mind to write him and call him out. The most tragic character is poor Robert. I really felt for him and you will too. This book should be required reading in high schools. It is every bit as relevant as TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.

Summary: A Good Lesson
Review: How did the Nazis take over? How could a counrty let it happen? It couldn't happen here! Wanna bet? That is the backdrop to "The Wave". Hip history teacher Burt Ross decides to answer his students with an experiment. Instead of Nazism, he calls it "The Wave" and couches the terminology in good feeling ideas that grab some of the kids. He then stands back and watches.

The idea catches on with some of the students. The class loser suddenly starts to gain status and moves up in the social order. Some of the students start to recruit and the "movement" builds. Just as Nazism did, the movement starts to use intimidation and veiled threats to gain new members. The situation starts to fly out of control with burt Ross trying to figure how to regain control.

This story is the metaphor for the rise and fall of Nazism. It is also based on a true story out of California. That is what makes it so scary. That it could happen in America. Even in the land of the free, a cult of personality can lead to the very thing our society hates. The right to dissent is the hinge pin to our freedoms even if the people dissenting seem to be nuts. The story shows perfectly how trying to do something good can lead to the very thing the group is trying to avoid. Mass movements are not always good and society is fine just the way it is even if it is not perfect. Think about that the next time you hear about the next great thing to fix us. Highly reccommended.
