A review by rachaelanra
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
5.0
Love this book so much. It made me cry in some places and at the same time made me put so much hope for characters. Characters where relatable, in some way or another, and I saw how well-formed they were. One of the aspects of the book, that caught my eye, was how the book was written. It was written so that us, the reader, would be able to see how the characters thought and we were able to see what makes them tick.
There was some parts that were a bit confusing, meaning that I didn't see why it was included in the book but as the story went on, I saw that there was a reason in mentioning. Such as the romance between Cassie and Evan, when I read these parts of them, I loved it but I saw no meaning in it, that is until I continued reading. Yancey has a good way of putting meaning to events and knows how to use his words. Though I'm not a fan of speaking out sound effects but this is a minimal thing and another thing I did like was that each part of the book was unique to each character.
Reading this book was very enjoyable, though sad, and I feel that it pulled at heart-strings a couple of times. While other times, it tends to get your blood pumping.
