Has anyone read the book or heard of it? It's a really awesome book, I heard. I haven't read it but I watched a new German movie, about the book.

It's about an experiment that a teacher of an American High School made in 1967 made. His students said that something like what happened in Germany, with Hitler and such, could never happen again. The teacher started to drill his students and he made a group called "The Wave". They had a dresscode, and everyone in that group was equal. They were facistic and were strong as a group. The group starts to get out of control though.

The end of the book is great, too, it's a little too complicated to write down though.

You should really get it. Also, this book is based on facts, that did really happen.

It is one of the best movies I have ever seen and I heard the book is even by far better.

I definitely need to watch/read that. It somehow reminds me of the Stanford prison experiment.
let's all set our phasers on "boring"

There's a reaaaaaaally old version of the movie and a new one. Not sure if the new one will ever get released outside of Germany though.
