The Wave

Rating:
Summary: Realistic and scary
Review: This book really enlightened me. I supose i'v always been rather ignorant about about the truth of the nazi movement and the hesteria behind it. I, like the high schoolers in this book could not truely understand how millions of people could stand back and watch a mass geneocide. In all my reading i'v never come across an insidence that so clearly reduplicated the hearts of the Germin people during the third reich rule. It scares me to think that something like this really happened, and how willingly yet unconsciously they were brainwashed into the "cult". This is a very important subject and every one should have a taste of it. This and other warnings like it should be remembered and watched so the dreams of a mad man can never be relived fully. Like I said before a very enlightening book to the heart behind the faciast ideal.

Summary: Great Learning Source, but scary at times.
Review: Good book, i had to read it in 8th grade English and it was good, but it is scary at times cuz those students were like brainwashed with the teacher's ideas. Hey mom it's me! ~(\)igH"|"(V)Ä|2e (Nightmare)

Summary: Strong, Yet Limited Depiction of a Disturbing Incident
Review: This short novel is highly valuable in that it recounts a dramatized version of a very disturbing incident of fascist-like behavior in an American high scool. It develops much suspense and is fairly strong in conveying the message which was intended in the real-life incident. However, the reading level is that of elementary school, which might seem inappropriate for such a mature topic. Its brevity also hinders its depth. However, the message is still appropriate for readers of any age.

Summary: :)
Review: This is one of my all time favourite books. I have read it about nine times, and I can never put it down until I'm finished. It's scary how something can get that out of proportion, and it helped me to understand the whole Nazi thing better.

Summary: Good, but Fast
Review: I enjoyed this book The Wave. I thought it was good, and at some parts it was boring. Once you get started on the book it's hard to stop reading it. I got hooked at around the 6th chapter. I would recomend this book to anyone.

Rating:
Summary: The book was good with detail, but slow.

Rating:
Summary: Pretty good plot, but slow as well
Review: THIS BOOK WAS ONE OF THE FEW BOOKS I HAVE READ RECENTLY THAT CONTAINED A WELL WRITTEN PLOT. IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE HOW SOMETHING LIKE THIS WAS ALLOWED TO TAKE PLACE IN AN ACTUAL SCHOOL. ALTHOUGH THE BOOK WAS INTREGUEING, IT WAS OFTEN SLOW AT TIMES. OVERALL, I GIVE THE BOOK A THREE. I WOULD GLADLY RECOMEND IT TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN HOW PEOPLE CAN BE INFLUENCED BY SOMEONE AND FOLLOW THEM BLINDLY.
