Summary: Astounding, True, a must read for all high school students
Review: This book touched me in a way that I could only explain as Inspiring. I am one who has never considered myself as a follower more a leader in my own state of mind, Yet others who consider themselves as diverse tend to search for ways to make it in their society, and while on this expedition loose faith in search of and answer and as a result loose their pride, dignity and independence as to appose to who they really are. I am a student who has been to a lot of schools and I see students "Placing their trust and faith in other students hands." This is a book with a meaning which could only be described as ambiguous. The meaning may be interpreted in different ways nevertheless this is one way it is interpreted and for that I think is the reason why so many teachers around the world choose this book as a study novel. It also explains the Nazi Movement in a less old School style and shows how easy it is for one to get caught up in themselves to feel superior to be living the worst sin in the world, vanity . This book is absolutely a gem and is recommended for the knowledge seeking reader.

Summary: A chilling classroom "experiment" with relevance for today!
Review: I am a Language Arts teacher in Mission, Texas and my students read "The Wave" as their classroom novel for the last six weeks of school. My students, like those in Palo Alto, California had difficulty understanding how one person (Hitler) could have carried out the Holocaust with no cries of protest from the German people. We had many discussions on the power of peer pressure - for good and for evil. I would recommend this book highly to any age reader, especially to middle and high school age students. The message of "The Wave" is a powerful one and of great relevance to all students and educators.

Summary: a mendatory reading material for anyone who's alive today!
Review: I am a 16 year old high school student. I first heard about "The Wave" when I saw it as a play 11 years ago. I later on did a good amount of research on the book and found it extremely capturing! I especially touched me since I encounter peer pressure almost everyday and because of my Jewish background I can fully relate to those characters who opposed the experiment. I believe everyone, young or old ought to read the book and be fully aware of what brainwashing and manipulating has and could turn into.

Summary: Bad book
Review: I did not like this book because it was boring. However th book could be interesting for others. The topic of the book was about a group of students that made an organization to help the people.

Summary: A frightning look on brain-washing and Nazi-ism.
Review: This is an young adult book that is clear and great for suspence. As being a kid jew, it is extremly hard to understand the death camps, Hitlers ways, and how someone could do that. Todd Strasser's (in my opinoin)best book is written in wonderful words. I recomend this book to anyone who loves to read horror, sci. fiction, and/or adventure books. For a very long time, this was my favorite book.

Summary: Paddyz review
Review: This is a really great book it is kind of a creepy way of thinking because this is a true story and it was mostly all about itz peers and peer pressure. The students thought it was right to do this because of everbody else. I give all five stars

Rating:
Summary: COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL
Review: I wish those students had read this book..... I wish those two troubled boys had read this book. How else could they fully comprehend the evil they unleashed. May God watch over the souls of those innocents lost so tragically.
