Ilustration To Books The 5th Wave (The 5th Wave #1)
After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one. Now, it's the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother-or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.Itemize Books Concering The 5th Wave (The 5th Wave #1)

1/24/16 Movie Update: I finally saw it... Mixed feelings. Like many of you commented, I think the weakest parts were the romance. I hated how the last 1/4 of movie seemed rushed compared to the book -and my big pet peeve was that Ben recognized her and knew who her brother was (soooooo not how it happened in the book) and that when Ben and Evan finally met it was not awkward & hilarious (because of Cassie's lies and obsessions) like the book. To me, one of the greatest things about the book*5 EXTRATERRESTRIAL STARS* "How do you rid the earth of humans? Rid the humans of their humanity." HOLY CRAP. This was good! I mean, like, extremely, terrifyingly good! I have already read plenty of books dealing with aliens and/or invasions, but for me this is the best one yet! I expected this to be yet another overhyped book series, but boy was I wrong!This is the first Rick Yancey novel I ever read and it completely blew me away, I don't even know where to start. I wonder why I haven't read
Warning: This rant will contain lots of swearing, and massive anger. This is a rant, so I'm sorry if there's weird grammar or bad writing. I'm really not caring that much at this point. So, please, bear with me.And please know that by no means do I intend to offend anyone, including the author. DNF- Sammy's POV. I HATED THIS BOOK!Best thing to describe it? Boring as fuck. This book was my most anticipated book of the year. I was expecting so much after all the hype. But guess what? This turned
-- Tried to reread it because of the movie but I still don't get it :/ --I choose to start this book because of all the hype that it is having. They even had promo posts on the subway. The quotes were really interesting and the thing about a strong heroine in an alien invaded earth, how can it be that bad? And then we can add the alien-earth romance to have the spicy in the food. Well, it was promising enough. It should have been.The writing in this book is really beautiful. It was beautiful,
"...bastardized sci-fi for the Twilight crowd..."Well this is awkward. Everything about The 5th Wave - an award winning male young adult author, a high octane alien invasion plot, the comparisons to Enders Game and The Passage - made it seem like itd exactly my kind of book. But now that Ive finished, Im just so pissed with the whole thing I have nothing nice to say and really just want to punch something, and in fact, I dislike The 5th Wave so much Ive somehow written not one but three angry
well, now i know why i cant find the perfect guy. its because perfect guys are actually aliens. evan has seriously ruined the entire human male population for me. lol. evan aside, this is a really fantastic start to a sci-fi series. the concept is wildly imaginative. and although the plot is very much engaging and suspenseful, i cant help but feel like this story is more of an examination of humanity in the face of catastrophe. these characters are everything. im not sure i was expecting such
Pss! Pss! I have a theory.Want to hear it? I'm starting to think that Rick Yancey is a genius. What does a genius do, you're asking? He makes people think they are the genius, by creating a story so predictable that every reader will feel so fucking clever. No, no, this is not sarcasm (not entirely, anyway). See, I was here bitching about how I guessed everything - every fucking thing apart from the ear teddy bear rumpled (come on, I'm not that great) - when I realized that there was no way I
