Summary: The Wave is a great book!
Review: When I finished The Wave, I couldn't believe this actually happened. The incident Todd Strasser described seemed too horrible to occur--the Nazi party recreated. The book was great, to put it simply.

Summary: The Wave: To read or not to read
Review: "Strength through discipline! Strength through community! Strength through action!"
These powerful words made a huge impact in "The Wave". Nobody believed that with these few words a school revolution would break out. Nazis had been blind of all independent thought and no one at Gordon High School could understand why. In this thrilling novel, you see a harmless school experiment turn into something comparable to the Nazi revolution. A lesson on Nazi Germany had turned the school into a watered-down form of Neo-Nazis that made harsh reality for most. Bursting with hidden meanings, its ending will SHOCK you!!!!! This complelling novelis a timeless classic that shows what freedom of thought truly means and the dire consequences that occur when its taken away. The eigth graders of this school highly recommend it.

Summary: A good book
Review: I give this book four stars because it is a very good book ,but not the best. This book is about an history class experiment that way out of control and goes clear through the school, nobody knows that it is that bad. There are two students that warn the teacher to stop it before it gets more out of control.

Summary: Feel The Wave
Review: The Wave by Morton Rhue is one of the best books I've ever read! The book tells you the story about the history teacher Ben Ross who loves do to experiements with his students. One of this Experiements is The Wave. Ben tries to give his students a taste of how people lived in Nazi-Germany and why most of the german people doesn't stand up against Hitler. But then he lost controll and the experiement goes out of hand.When you read the book you will feel that you even as a reader becomes more and more a member of the Wave. So the book is a good prof for the fact that racism is in all of us and that you have to fight against it.

Summary: The Wave Review
Review: I really enjoyed the book because it was thrilling and there was never a dull moment. Also, I liked the way Todd Strasser explained the book as if to make you feel like you were there. Laurie and David's relationship made the book thrilling too. They did that by either arguing or acting like they really liked eachother and they deserved one another. Mr. Ross was another factor in making the book really enjoyable. He acted like a cool, outgoing teacher in the begining but as it went on he became strict and a little mean. For example, he made the students stand up next to their desk if they were answering a question and do the wave salute whenever they walked in the classroom. There was a lot of volience in the book. For example, when Laurie was running away from the school, David caught up to her and started talking to her and then he pushed her down and made her start to cry. It was very interesting to see how the students reacted to the wave and to see how the wave was a very good example of Nazi Germany.

Summary: The Wave
Review: I really enjoyed the book because it was very thrilling. I was on the edge of my seat and alway wondering what was goining to happen next. The author, Todd Strasser never left a dull moment in the story and you felt as if you were a character in the story as well. The novel was so exciting because David Collins and Laurie Saunders, a very intelligent, popular couple had a relationship that started to spin out of control when a new formation was invented called The Wave. The Wave was an example of Nazi Germany and showed how history can repeat itself. It was really interesting to see how the students reacted to the wave. There was a lot of violence due to the wave and this helped certain people realize how bad the wave truely is.

Summary: My Opinion About The Wave!
Review: I liked the book called The Wave. It was done by a man named Todd Strasser. I think he is a good author, and he wrote this book for a good reason. It teaches not only us but the students in The Wave a disipline leason. I learned that you should make your own desicions instead of somebody else doing it for you. Thats why I rate this book a stared book. But it is stupid in some ways. Someways it is stupid is like when, well it was really the whole book. I didn't like The Wave when Mr. Ross showed the class; The Wave. The students really liked The Wave and did whatever Mr. Ross told them to. I think that was the most stupides part in the book. But other than that, I liked THE WAVE!!!!

Summary: The Review
Review: The general overall messages or moral if you will, is think for yourself. I think this because all the members of "The Wave," was letting Ben Ross think for them. They did everything that he said, but it when to fare. Then back fired on him.

I think that I relate t Laurie Sanders the most because Laurie lost most of her friends because she a posed them. After it was all over she regained her friends back. I have recently experienced somewhat of Lauriefs experiences that she has been though in the book

If I was put in Lauriefs position I would probably feel really bad. I would feel bad because she was agents her friends and her mom was always right theyfre when she was talking to her about "The Wave," and how bad it is. But Lauriefs mom dose not realize that Laurie is with her to fight agents "The Wave,"

I liked the book, but it was vary strange. A lot of fighting. So I guess the book was ok.

Summary: My review on The Wave
Review: what i thought of the wave,

I thought The Wave was ok it taught me that power and discapline is not always good and that both of them can be abused if not thought out carefully. I liked this book but yet i didnt i thought it really wasnt that interesting but find out for your self and read it. But also it was good it was about an experiment gone wrong when a teacher goes to far and the kids are to caught up in it and he needs to stop it. also he only does it because he wanted to show them how hitler took control and killed half a population of the world.
