glorifield 's review for:

The Wave by Todd Strasser
3.0

I have been teaching the book [b:Night|1617|Night|Elie Wiesel|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1709507006l/1617._SY75_.jpg|265616] to my high school class, and one of my students (literally) threw this book at me and said "read it."

It's short enough that I was able to finish it in a day, and while it made a few chilling points, it doesn't seem like a book that's going to stay with me. The prose, the characters, and the concepts are just overly simplified. It would be a decent introduction for early middle or late elementary school, though.
