this book, with its female protagonist, is in the spirit of several other young adult dystopias (i.e. Hunger Games, Divergent). I read it as part of the mother/daughter book club for November, and it should yield interesting discussions about morality and humanity. My daughter, who will be leading the discussion, also wants to know if you're on Team Evan or Team Ben? I'm team ben. she's team evan.

The 5th Wave is good. Really good. I wouldn't say it's as good as The Hunger Games, but it ranks above Divergent to me. The alien invasion was probably the most well crafted version of the apocalypse I have read or seen recently. The characters were well fleshed-out and believable. Honestly, I wasn't expecting all that much from the book, but I was duly impressed. Looking forward to the subsequent books.

For an alien invasion, it's awful boring. It took me nearly a month to get through it because I couldn't get interested in it ever. That never happens, I love to read! Even books I absolutely hate don't take me more than a week tops. This is one series I won't be finishing.
