Review 26: The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
Dear Reader,
I finished this amazing book, before you read my review make sure to read the currently reading post first as I am going to refer to it (Currently reading 5th wave).
Okay here we go.
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.

Overall Opinion (No spoilers):
I said it before in the currently reading post, this book has had me in its grip since the first few words. And it definitiley is a surprising book. The book is written in quite a few point of views, which usually anoyyes me quite alot. But because this book has many suprises it is very nice to read what and how every character goes through this bizarre reality. The book handles quite horrible events sometimes, massa deaths, family members passing away etcetera. But because the writer writes these events in a, and especially cassie's point of view, quite sarcastically funny way. Yancey started the book good, explained everything without getting mixed up or just naming it. The middle was great, explained alot and built op to the end, and ofcourse a cliffhanger at the end which made me buy the second book right away! I gave it a total of 5 out of 5 stars on Goodreads cause yeah, i think it is that good.
Detailed Opinion (SPOILERS!!SPOILERS!!):
In my opinion Rick Yancey explained the death of everyone in Cassie's family really well with the flashbacks. Sammy's one made me tear up a little, because she really thought he was going to be save and then he 'died' in her eyes ofcourse. I love Cassie, she is sarcasticlly funny and is not a quitter!. the moment I read the first part from Ben's point of view. I hoped it was Ben. I knew he had to come up somewhere in the book because I saw the movie trailer. And was really happy to read he was alive after all, and ofcourse started to ship him and Cassie, like a fangirl does. To read the point of view from the silencer was a good kind of suprise! Eventhough it was kind of short. But suprise, suprise it was Evan freaking Walker. I did trust him at the beginning but figured out he was a shady character way before Cassie did. I was so happy when he finally explained how the 'aliens' lived inside the humans, or even live at all. And that, like in almost every war, there were also 'people' who didn't agree with how things were. I really hopen he survived the entire blow up camp heaven thing. And comes back to cassie, because I don't know who to ship anymore when there are two guys who match Cassie really good. Because we ended the book with Cassie and Ben kissing.. why did Ben do this? I thought she wasn't really her friend? Some questions for the next book I guess.
Love, me.
