The Fifth Wave

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

This book is the epitome of awesome, post-apocolyptic, alien invasion.

What are your thoughts?

Did it live up to all the hype?

Eh. Ehhhh. Me no likey Evan.

[Madeline]

I LOVED IT!!!!!!
I loved all the kick-butt female characters, and the 'aliens' :D Ugh! I can't remember any of their NAMES!

Same!! Me likey Ben Parish :) thinking back to him tho, he isn't as great as I thought he was. He's too goodytwoshoes for me. Maybe if he regains his popularity hotness status I'd like him more.

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

I really liked the alien-invasion part. The different POVs were a little annoying at first. Sometimes I felt like the story was dragging but then I realized that all POVs were necessary for the story. The next book is set up for greatness. The possibilities are endless!

[Madeline]

I liked Evan! 'cept for ya know the part where he was tryin' to kill the chick he liked....

[Madeline]

HEY RACHEL!!!!
*Angel whinnies*
Angel says hey too.

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Hey Mads and Angel!!

Yeah but he didn't! Most important part :)

I freaking LOVE Cassie. She's so funny. She's a hilarious protagonist what with her dry humor and quick wit.

Yeaaaah, he was all....I don't know, i wanna say 'stiff' and dull, but I don't think stiff will work. I like him better than Evan though. The romance between the two (Evan and Cassie-if thats her name) makes me want to impale my brain with a mace.

[Madeline]

Yay for not killing your crush!!!!!!!
That's typically looked upon as wrong :(

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Same! They knew each other for a week (really a day for Cassie because she was knocked unconscious for 6 days) and then they are making out and in love.

[Madeline]

But on the contrary Nat. I rather liked her characters. They all were unique and had they're ups and downs. I don't really know what to think of ringer though, as she appears to just be a carbon copy of Cassie, 'cept possibly prettier. Seriously, I can't find ANY personality differences between the two!!!
*Angel snorts*
"Exactly!"

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Ringer isn't as funny and she seems stoic and stern and not much fun. Well then again, Cassie is pretty serious too... except when she's being sarcastic.

[Madeline]

Yeah, I really think that ringer is just a less developed version of Cassie. I think the Author could've just replaced ringer with Cassie and had a love triangle instead since they're pretty much the same person anyways. 'Cept the author should change her name 'cause the name Cassie just doesn't fit her AT ALL and bugs the crap outta me.

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Yeah it seems too girly for her character...

[Madeline]

Yep Cassie seems like the name of a peppy cheerleader, whereas I'm pretty sure this Cassie would shoot someone for implying that about her.

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

LOL yes she would ;)

[Madeline]

And happily so.

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Haha totally true... Cassie's a little trigger-happy.

[[deleted user]]

XDD Trigger happy is awesome :D
If I had a gun, I'd be all like "You want to be annoying?!" Bam. "You don't wanna share chocolate with me?" Bam.
Although it would onnly be a BB gun, so they wouldn't die of course ;)

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

I think I'd use a taser :)

[[deleted user]]

Hmm....gun sounds so much more violent

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Yeah but it's funny watching people get tazed.

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Like Evan! I'd love to taze him just because he's so weird...

[Ally]

Now that they have cast Chloe Moretz, who do you think should play the guys??

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

I have no idea... Do you like Chloe Moretz as Cassie?
