She’s also got a pretty great sense of humor. Cassie is a wonderful heroine, who has the courage of Katniss Everdeen. She reacts exactly the way any girl would, and I loved her for it.ĥ. Her inner thoughts are hilarious when she realizes a boy saw her naked. I particularly loved the part of the book where Cassie woke up in a strange guy’s house, all cleaned up and wearing new clothes. I kept forgetting a man wrote this book! Cassie’s voice is quintessentially female. In that same vein, Rick Yancey did such a good job at getting into the head of a teenage girl. The writing style portrays so many different emotions: Cassie’s heartbreak when her brother is taken, her skepticism as to whether or not to trust Evan, her fear at being alone, her sorrow over losing her family, and her determination to survive.Ĥ. Yancey has convinced me that this can really happen!ģ. Everything seemed so frighteningly real to me, that I was completely engrossed. He really took his time giving us all the details about what the world is like now, what the aliens have done so far (in the first four waves of human extermination, essentially), and what life is like for the few remaining humans on Earth.Ģ.
Rick Yancey has created a very convincing post-apocalyptic setting, taking place right here in the United States. I’ve been very excited to read The 5th Wave, and am so glad I finally had the chance! It’s a very exciting books that I loved so much more than I thought I would. **This is one of the books I chose to read for my YA literature class** But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker.īeguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother-or even saving herself.
Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. Published by GP Putnam's Sons on May 7, 2013Īfter the 1st wave, only darkness remains.
