Book Reviews of The Wave (Laurel-Leaf contemporary fiction)
Book Review: Wave on Wave
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a page-turner. I couldn't put it down. I kept reading it until my eyes hurt. I would not have any problem reading the book again. It was hard to put it down, because I wanted to see what was going to happen next. I would definitely recommend this book. I would recommend it to everyone who finds it. Everyone would like it. It is good for everyone. The book was not boring at all. It gave information about the Nazis. It was hard for it to be boring. It was not predictable, you could not predict what was going to happen next.Book Review: a mendatory reading material for anyone who's alive today!

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.Book Review: It is an excellent book that should be read by everyone.
Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion, The Wave was a powerfully moving book. It talked about how some things in history were so powerful, that even today they can cause horrid actions to take place. Last year my eighth grade class read this book and I think that not one person wasn't effected in some way by this book. It also taught me ever more about the horrible things that happened in WW2 and about Hitler's power. If you want a fiction book that not only is entertaining, but is very informative at the same time, read The WaveBook Review: Possible
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter brought home The Wave because they're reading it in class. She told me that the teacher wanted parents to read the book also. I finished it in two hours. While it was quickly paced and could easily have gone deeper and more indepth it's still an excellent portrayal of what COULD happen and HOW. You always wonder how someone could let themself be involved with something so horrible and this book gives us a glimps into the power of persuasion and how it can be abused in all facets of life.Book Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
