alexandra_92 's review for:
The 5th Wave
by Rick Yancey
Did you think that you knew sci-fi with E.T and ALIEN or even X-Files?
You are completely wrong! With "the 5th Wave" you will change your mind concerning sci-fi novels. While I was avoiding the book because of the summary, yes I didn't like the summary (shoot me please), when i read the prologue i got so hooked with the plot and I didn't put it down. There were points in which i screamed and some in which i even cried.
Cassie lived through the 4 Waves, 4 actions of the Others (aliens duh), which managed to destroy humankind in almost six months. Her quest? To save her brother, and just survive the 5th Wave.
I want to stand at the POVs first. We have three POVs, two on the first and one on the third. There are many books that have passed these two months from my hands and I was very ecstacic reading multiple POVs. It isn't confusing and the story goes on smoothly.
As for the characters? I am going to spot on Cassie because the rest are indeed spoilers ;)
She is a character with deep thoughts, strong emotions and really, really agonizing feelings. She is the fine example of how humanity can become in dire times and how thin are the lines between good and evil, love and hate and even insanity. here were many points in which she wondered what would become of her and if she would have her mind, if she could manage to survive.
Overall, "The 5th Wave" is a gripping, strong novel with unique and soon to be on the big screen characters!! :)
