2013 DEC - The 5th Wave (The 5th Wave, #1) by Rick Yancey

[[deleted user]]

This month we are reading The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey.

After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.

Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.

Decent read...it was a little overhyped for me so I think my expectations were a little too high. But I did love Zombie and parts of the plot, particularly the ending (including a little twist!).

I really liked this one! I agree that it was overhyped, though. I made sure to lower my expectations a little bit before I read it so I wouldn't be disappointed.

I liked the 5th wave a lot. I hadn't heard much about it so maybe I enjoyed it more than most. I liked the characters and most of the time I'm irritated by at least one.
Love the actual 5th wave and the connections between the characters.
Can't wait for the next in the series.

What did everyone think about Evan (that was his name right?)?? He totally creeped me out lol! I didn't get the (view spoiler)[ whole romance thing with Cassie. He was just too much of a creepster! (hide spoiler)]
