by the bottom of the first page (no spoiler alert required), it’s apparent that Rick Yancey has written a very different book from the usual alien invasion story. Been there, read that-a dozen times or more.Įxcept. The aliens need our planet for their own survival and they’re not squeamish about taking it away from us. The third wave: an Ebola-like virus kills 97% of humanity. The second wave: giant tsunamis annihilate coastal cities worldwide. The first wave: electromagnetic impulses demolish every form of technology. creepy good.”Īn alien mothership circles the Earth raining down consecutive waves of death and destruction. I figure whatever ending I make up in my head will be better than what the author comes up with.“Rick Yancey has written a very different book from the usual alien invasion story. I will not be purchasing the sequel to the 5th wave. I made myself finish the book (because of all the other positive reviews) but was again frustrated with the cliff hangers in the ending. But for the middle of the book - when I found myself finding chores to do instead of listening to the audiobook, then I knew this was not a five star read (or even a three or four star). I believe the book has a strong beginning and ending. And I don't like brainless main characters. But when the main characters don't comprehend this until nearly two-thirds of the book is over, then I question their intelligence. If the reader realizes this within the first third of the book, the main characters should at least pick it up by the first half of the book. I was also frustrated by the naivety of all the main characters (which is a nice way of saying how stupid they are) when they don't / can't / won't realize not all humans are humans. The story did flip back to Cassie eventually, but by then I wasn't sure I cared anymore. And then it became about the harshness of military training - again, hard to adjust to.
But then it switched to three different male characters, which was hard to adjust to. I loved Cassie - I loved the story from her point of view. But since I purchased this book based on the positive reviews and I really didn't like it, I feel compelled to state my own opinion in a review.

If those series get you going, you are going to love this one as well. This series will appeal to anyone who liked the Hunger Games, the Divergent Series, or the Steelheart series. But the short of it, the narration is very good. I let you figure out who is who and who is doing what to whom. The book is narrated by a man and a woman, there are three points of view: Cassie, Ben Parish and Evan. Yancey slides in bumper stickers about morality and observations about civilization. She make a promise to get him and the rest you'll have to listen to. Her and her surviving brother get separated. Aliens invade the world, this story is about a 16 year old girl, Cassie, that has to deal.

The book is much better than the movie and that is saying something. I liked the movie so I decided to read the first book. Outstanding plot, suspense, action, betrayal
#THE 5TH WAVE BY RICK YANCEY HOW TO#
Found myself walking alongside characters to find food and shelter and feeling just as disturbed trying to figure out how to distinguish the enemy from other humans. Their journey was a little like "Revolution," "The Walking Dead," and "The Road" woven into a teenage tapestry of action, adventure, and the power of perseverance. Cared about the characters, enjoying alternating viewpoints and narration by Cassie and other character (no spoilers). Writing style is thoughtful, smart, and insightful. The plot is layered with well thought out details feels like peeling an onion instead of gliding the surface of most successful dystopian trilogies. Stealthy and cunning, the "others" unleash several waves to eradicate the human race while preserving the Earth's natural resources. There are no grand explosions, little green men, or friendly visitors wishing to interact and understand our race. Cassie feels like the last human on earth after aliens have quietly invaded our planet. Anyone else over the trilogy happy dystopian and paranormal YA lit? This one stands out and is worth your credit and time.
