5.0 out of 5 stars
Recommended for teachers AND students!
Victor is one of the best books I've read in a long time (and I read a LOT). The issues presented will have readers talking and thinking about society, education, humankind, and mental health for a very long time.

A good book...for ADULTS
This is a very good book but I am highly disappointed in... age recommendation...ages 9 to 12? Parts of this book include attempted rape scenes and masturbation scenes. Although well written and a good case study for adults, it is not for children.

This review is from: Victor: A Novel Based on the Life of the Savage of Aveyron (Hardcover)
This book is a must read for teachers, therapists, and anyone who works with children--especially damaged children. The educational approach is fascinating; the description of the boy's experience is touching. Just for clarity, this is a book for ADULT readers, not for children. Gerstein wrote a picture book on this subject (THE WILD BOY) which is appropriate and enjoyable for children.

WOW! This book was great! It didn't have much action, or much plot...but I learned a lot from the book. Like about geography, and other lil things. It was exactly five stars, but I thought a four would do it.
