ravensandlace 's review for:
The 5th Wave Collection
by Rick Yancey
Oh my gosh. Why did I not hear about this book and the series sooner? I mean who dropped the ball and didn't tell me about this fantastic series? WHO, I SAY? Well, I think it's my fault. I very rarely branch out beyond romance and history based books. This is a scifi book so it's my fault.
Moving on. What an incredible journey this book was. I loved everything and anything about it. It kept me hooked and on the edge of my seat. While I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it and the time when I would be reading it again. A series hasn't done that to me since Harry Potter .
The book is about Cassie. She is all alone in the world, except for her brother, which the Others, have taken. Cassie is on a one woman mission to find him and save him. Along the way, she gets shot and meets Evan. Cassie resists Evan or at least tries too. Gradually, her frosty heart melts and together they go and attempt to rescue her brother.
I loved Cassie. At times, she was very gruff. There were times where I was like dude, unmelt your heart. You're such a damn frosty box. But then again, I get it. Aliens have invaded your world and you don't know who's alien and whose human. It's a scary and dangerous world out there. You can't trust anybody.
I also loved that there was another POV, which was from Ben, Cassie's crush. She has no idea he is alive which makes it all the more better. I was surprised when I turned the page and it started on Ben's POV. I was like oh, so he is alive. Good to know. He talked about what he went through when the Waves started and how he managed to survive. He ends up in the military and trains other kids to fight the Others. Although, things are not what they seem.
I saw the movie and let me just say, it was almost spot on to the book. Seriously, only a few minor details that were messed up. But other than that, nearly perfect. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I watched it. I had this stupid smile on my face because I was just so damn excited.
Seriously. Everybody should read this book. It's amazing! Everybody should also watch the movie because it's just as good as the book.
