A review by yodamom
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey

5.0

4.5


Those three letters round it up nicely for this reader
I could see it, knew it was coming, knew it would be bad, I knew it. Reading this was like watching somebody walk though a foggy graveyard late at night while chains, screams and growls sound out around them. You sense it, they sense it but there is no other path. You watch as they get hit, beaten and scream for them to run, they try but where do they run too ? Who do they trust ? Omg, (deep breath) I never knew who exactly was bad, lying, loving, manipulating or human.
I read this without any knowledge of what it about, no expectations. I love the surprise especially when it is a good one. I was impressed with the characters the world building and the twisted bits the author ruthlessly threw in. I am left with one heck of a cliffhanger and a scream "Where is the shark who dreamed of being a man ?"
