I really did not like this book. i didn't even finish it. The main character kind of annoyed me at times and the side characters were also annoying. the only person i tolerated was her little brother, and he doesn't even show up in most of the book. I feel like i am the only one who feels this way. is anybody out there. (NO HATE PLEASE. this was simply just not my type of book. it is a well written book, though)

I disagree, but at first I was confused about what was happening. After I kept going I LOVED The 5th Wave.
No, I'm really disgusted with it too. I felt like vomitting when I was about 75% through the book. I wonder how it ever got passed for quality assurance? It's so cheap, and an obvious tween-bait, and nothing more than a money-milking venture of that NOOB author Rick Yancey, who I think despite his credentials seem utterly ignorant of how to properly write a book.

I really was not a big fan of it. I often found the book a tad bit uninteresting and wasn't really sure what was really going on throughout the whole book.
I liked it but didn't at the same time. Overall plot and writing was amazing. The aliens are portrayed normally but are more or less beings. I got really confused about who I was reading about and who was narrating. The book was in my opinion too long. I barely finished it.
I was totally against this book halfway through and refused to go on but i heard so many good things i pushed myself to finish it and absolutely FELL IN LOVE WITH IT i suggest maybe just reading little bit a day and maybe youll enjoy it
I actually loved this book from the get go.I have to kind of disagree with the tween-bait comment.
I'm almost 27, married and have 3 kids and I know I'm not the only one I know (of my age) that likes it.
You have to remember that people have different tastes in books and that it's ok to not like something that everyone else apparently loves.
It was great in the beginning, but all that stuff about the girl drooling over that Evan kid, talking about how cute his butt was, made me want to puke. Started out promising, but turned sour quickly.
I don't know about anyone else, but I found everything, and everyone rather immature, and cliche. When I first read the first chapter I knew I was going to hate it. "ALIENS ARE STUPID" *head-desk* Then, my hate turned into loathing. I thought it couldn't get worse, how wrong I was. I'm surprised as hell she survived these waves, seeing how fucking stupid she was. I feel like Rick knows absolute shit about how teenagers talk, or interact with each other. So therefore, 1 fucking star.
right now I have taylor swifts shake it off lopping over and over in my head....haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate...

I found this book to be good. Plotwise and etc. The beginning is a little confusing at first but as you progress through it, the story develops smoothly and easily.
It started out fantastic IMO. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. Could have been a fascinating, intelligent story blending alien invasion and first contact with an immersive and realistic post-apocalytic theme... instead the author felt the need to go into teenage romance and lol child soldiers... sigh...Oh yeah, and the twists were obvious.
