Must Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
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.
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.
Flowing chapters, you can tell there was lots of research.

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.
