Summary
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.
ReviewI was hesitant to like this book. I had heard reviews all summer about how awesome this book was. The new "it" book. I find it hard to trust other peoples book opinions. I finally got around to reading the book for our schools book club and could not put it down. There were a few points in the book I found confusing but eventually everything was cleared up. The author provided a fresh perspective on an alien invasion and how we as people would react and respond. I thought the book was great and can't wait to discuss it tomorrow with the book club.
