The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey Review



Sypnopsis: 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.

Amount of Pages it took to get into the book: About 40/457 (Hardcover Edition)

Non-Spoiler Review: This book took a little bit of time to get into it but once I did there was no turning around. This book is addictive. Just to warn you it changes point of view. I loved this book, there is twists and turns and the changing perspectives can be frustrating when one character knows something the other doesn't. There's also action, which involved lots of blood and guns.

Spoiler Review: This book is amazing. I loved Cassie and Evan's relationship. I suspected for a while that he was the silencer and I was right. At first I hated being in Ben's point of view just because I hated Reznik and Vosch, I grew to like it though because I wasnted to see Ringer and Sammy. Now I have to go buy the Infinite Sea so I can see what happened to Evan.

Rating: 5 stars
