Has anyone here read The Wave by Morton Rhue (Todd Strasser) ?

What would you classify as good?

I've watched Die Welle. Quite alright, merely proving its point and probably most popular because it goes against the general US opinion that nazis are pure evil.

I loved it, the way something like that can spring up and grow so quickly is fascinating. said

i had to read it in high school when i was 15. i didn't like it then, it seemed very obvious and ham handed in its message. it's bloody obvious he was trying to show the kids the powers of facism and if these kids couldn't see through it then fuck them. i didn't want to waste my time hearing about their fucking problems of pretend games. to be honest i thought it was one of the very worst books i've ever read, just down to the fact that it was like reading a cliche horror movie: anyone with a brain can point out the obvious poor moves that the characters make and it becomes nearly infuriating.

maybe it's because i had already read animal farm and 1984 twice by then.
