Customer Reviews

Exciting and suspensful tsunami adventure!

If you like suspense, you will LOVE this book. When you put it down to do something else you will be looking forward to picking it back up, it is that intriguing. A great thriller!

I couldn't put Wave down!

The characters are all so realistic, and I felt a range of emotions for each and every one of them and couldn't wait to see how they all made it through. Even though the novel is fiction, it reads so true to life that it could have been -- hope it never is -- a true story. Definitely one I'll read again!

Couldn't Put it Down

An amazing read. I read it in TWO nights (and as the mom of two small kids, that is not an easy accomplishment). You fall in love with the characters and have to find out what happens to each of them. I have recommended this book to all of my friends and family and everyone has had the same response. If you are looking for an exciting, suspense filled book, this is the one for you. Happy reading!

Great book!

If you haven't had a chance to read this book, you're really missing out! The story line itself is a little frightening because something like this really is in the realm of possibilities and that made it more interesting because that sense of reality was tangible. I love what he did with his characters, even the ones I didn't really like. And any time there is a chance of redemption and a shot at being a hero, it's good to see that. Really, a great summer read, but a good read even mid-winter :-)

Awesome Read

This was one of the best books that I have ever read. I am from NJ and have been vacationing on Long Beach Island my whole life and love it there. It is always awesome to be able to read a book and to be able to picture everything that is being talked about. Which made it that much more real. This book was very well written and grabs the readers attention right from the beginning. I couldn't put it down.
