The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey is a great science fiction novel. This novel is constantly keeping you on your toes and wondering what will happen next. I enjoyed how the book had a realistic feel to it. Telling the story through the eyes of a high school student, was a brilliant idea, and it made me feel connected in the book. At times I felt like I was Cassie, the main character, and was going on this journey through the alien attacks. She ends up forming an alliance with Evan Walker who is a strange young man, but he just might be Cassie’s last hope at finding her little brother and surviving the attacks. It was crazy to me how real the Alien attacks felt. Rick Yancey’s description of an alien attack happening to a modern society feel so real. In the novel the effects of the alien attacks cause earthquakes, tsunamis, and disease. All odds are against Cassie and Evan. The chance of survival is little. Overall, I enjoyed reading the novel and could could hardly put it down to stop reading at night. I can’t wait to start reading another one of Rick Yancey’s books.

I like the review of the book you read. This little insight about the plot of the book seems interesting especially since the book is through the eyes of a high school student. This might be the next one I read. -AF

Great review! I agree with you how real the events felt especially through the eyes of a teenager. The point of view that the story is told from makes it more relatable. However, the factor that really got me hooked was the life changing and suspenseful decisions that the characters were often faced with. This book always leaves the reader on the edge of their seat.

I felt the same way about this book, and couldn’t stop reading it either. I think the description of the alien attack felt realistic because of the brutality of the tactics used by the other, and I thought it added a layer of terror as well. I enjoyed this book as well as it’s sequel, which picks up right were the 5th wave left off.
