Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Too much detail delayed the beginning
Review: This book was boring because the book didn't need all details which were included in it. I thought the book could have started at about Chapter 7. Caution: Boring & long, don't read this novel. If you really want to read more on the topic, go ahead, but watch the movie instead.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: the book is very superficial but adequate to teenagers.
Review: In this book the characters' psychology is too superfical,even though the book could be very pleasant if you're interested in short novels to spend an evening with. A positive aspect of the novel is the fact that you get immerged in it very easily thanks to realistic aspect of the book and the easy writing .

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A well written book, but everything seems too eazy . . .
Review: I had to read this book for my English class, and I didn`t find it too bad. It is a well writen book, wich makes it accessible even to beginers. The theme of this book, fascism, is a good idea, and the effects are well shown, though it is too much superficial. The whole process seems going too easily, I am not that sure that students would follow so blindly, so fast. Then again, I can be wrong. . . I recommend this book to every teachers whom`s interest is in racism

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting book about how easy to become extremist.
Review: I'm Belgian. I've read this book in English, and I wish to give some info about it. It's very interesting to see how a group could become extremist, begin to be crazy. It's a good social statement of how people actually function. Besides, I'll say that I didn't find it quite good, in the litteraly sense of the term. It ain't marvelous: it's purely interesting to think about it, that's all. But read it, sincerely...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It could happen to you!!!!!!
Review: I think this book is great. It makes you realize that it can happen to anybody. It shows us how easy it is to get part of a cult without even realizing it. This book is very useful to persons who want to know more about the Nazis Party in Germany. You just got to read the book to understand what I mean.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A direct book for those who wish to learn more about Nazi,GE
Review: This book is a great book if you enjoy short novels that give you all the information directly without you having to read between the lines. I didn't like it so much, because I am a sort of Laurie who saw it all coming. It is a must-read for those who aren't aware of the small things

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Nice story.but a little boring
Review: I like the story because it can happen to everybody,it's nice to read but very easy to guess the end.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great book
Review: This book is a fantastic story base on a true story. It tells you about how the Nazi Party could have stard and evolve so fast just like a wave in Germany. But to know how did one single person stop the fanatic mouvement, well you will have to read to book for yourself.....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: it is good
Review: This book is a good book but it is kind of like a goosebumps , it is too easy to read and sometimes descriptions are very boring , you can even guess what is going to happen since the 50th page

In the positive way , it is a good book fun to read , and interesting ,

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must-read about consequenses of group pressure.
Review: Can you imagine recreating a leader like Hitler and a group that followed him like the Nazis? Well, this book does. The Wave is based on a true occurance in Palo Alto, California in a High School History Class. This book is about a classroom experiment that goes too far. Mr. Ross is a High School teacher that teaches a group of students that form "The Wave". When most of the school gets caught up in "The Wave", two students realize it has gone too far. But can they stop it before it's too late? I thought The Wave was a very good book and really made you think if something like this would ever really happen again. I give The Wave 5 stars.
