Recommended by: Pamela Thompson, Librarian, Texas USA Cassie has to cut shrapnel out of Evan's backside, but it's not sexy in the least it's a necessary medical procedure. One f-bomb when Cassie tells the alien commander off violence, a few kisses. Highly, highly recommended and a MUST READ. I have to love a writer who lists his trusty (now deceased) dog Casey in the acknowledgements Yancey writes, "I will miss you, Case." Yancey allows hope for dystopia and humankind. Often, dystopian fiction is devoid of heart and soul, but not The 5th Wave. The 5th Wave is unputtdownable readers will empathize with Cassie-she is the kick-butt girl I want on my side at the end of the world. I was sorry when I had turned to the last page. And if this is humanity's last war, then I am the battlefield." They know they can defeat us, but do they know the sheer, brave will of one very determined teen-aged human female? Cassie says, "But if I'm it, the last of my kind, the last page in human history, like hell I'm going to let the story end this way.Because if I am the last one, then I am humanity. The aliens have been watching Earth for centuries they know how humans think and act. The 5th wave is humans turning on themselves. Evan confides that he has fallen in love with Cassie, and he finally tells her his secret. Cassie vows to find her little brother Sam and rescue him.Įvan agrees to help Cassie but she knows she has to go alone.
She knows something is "off" about Evan's story but can't figure out what it is.
Cassie trusts no one, not even her savior. She wakes up in a farmhouse and is nursed back to health by a boy named Evan. She knows she has to move on as winter is rapidly approaching. She stays in the woods for weeks, learning to exist on bottled water and canned sardines. When her little brother Sams is taken away with all the other children, Cassie's father tells her take the guns and warns her with a silent signal-Run! Every human is slaughtered back at Cassie's camp, and she's lucky to have escaped. The Others look like humans, they talk like humans, they learn the rules that make them appear human, and for that reason, Cassie trusts no one. The only rule is "Trust no one." And it's worked for her so far. Aliens have taken over the Earth, but have they, really? Trust me, The 5th Wave is the best dystopian novel in years!Ĭassie (short for Cassiopeia) has survived the 1st, 2nd and 3rd waves, but living terrified of dying 24/7 is nearly killing her. Gripping, dynamic, and hard core, The 5th Wave will scare the daylights out of readers! Yancey creates a dystopia that is unspeakably terrible.
