The plot is really confusing and hard to follow. It switches through perspectives and time, which adds even MORE confusion to the story as a whole. It focuses too much on the scenes that it barely takes the reader through major plot events.

In the book The 5th wave, it is about a 12 year old girl named Cassie. Aliens are taking over the world and only few real humans are left. Cassie journeys on a long difficult adventure through woods, plains and highways. During her adventures, she loses her brother Sammy, almost gets killed, and barely freezing to death. I would recommend this book to grades 6-9. If you like books including suspense, Sci-Fi, or anything mysterious this book includes it all.

I believe that this book is boring and doesn’t live up to its full potential because it spends   too much time detailing every little thing that happens. For example, Cassie talks about  everything she was bringing with her. Every single thing. It was a waste of space. Secondly,  there is no action. Compared to the very similar plot of Independance Day, a movie about an  alien takeover, there is no action besides an occasional murder.     Someone who likes to read about science fiction would not enjoy this book.   This book appeals to teen girls who like to read about love storie. It is barely a survival story, it is  just pandering to teen girls through an alien takeover. It is not what I expected.     Overall, this book teaches you not to read a book by its cover. It is boring and doesn't   live up to its full potential.

In the science fiction book The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey; Cassie, Ben, and all the other human's lives changed completely on the day the aliens started to make their appearance. I thought the book was a bit of a disappointment because in the beginning I thought it was going to be about how the aliens take over, but the aliens hid in plain sight and acted normal. The people running the camps also seemed too calm about the invasion. There was also not too much action going on (especially in Cassie and Evan's point of views), for example for about all of chapter 36 Cassie was just talking with Evan. So, I rate it three out of five stars. Throughout the book there are different point of views. There was Ben's (aka Zombie) who was the high school football star, but in the end he turned out to be a leader and a solider named Zombie. There was also Cassie who had her whole family , but slowly they one by one trickled away from her. Her mom was dead by the third wave and her dad was killed by some very deceiving men. Then there was Sammy who was taken on a school bus to a "safe" place and was never to be seen again by Cassie possibly until the end. There was also Evan who was supposed to be full on alien, but he still had a little bit of human left in him, which is why he didn't kill Cassie. And last but not least there was Sammy, Cassie's little brother, who was taken to the camp Wright-Patterson to be kept safe, but it was more like an army training camp to toughen kids up. The kinds of people who would like to read this book is people who can follow many perspectives at once and who like reading about alien invasions on totally different level. All these kids think they know everything and honestly they know just the opposite of what's happening.

Aliens invade Earth… check, post­apocalyptic…check, and awesome story... check. The fantastic book that I am reviewing today is The 5th Wave By:Rick Yancey. Right of the bat I would like to tell you that this book is truly spectacular and just pure awesome, out of 10 I would give this book a 9.5.The 5th Wave tells the story of a post­apocalyptic world brought on by alien invasion. A high school girl named Cassie has to try to save her brother and somehow survive in a world where aliens police the skies with large killer robots. Due to the waves about 1% of the population is left. The problem is that people get taken to a secret military that may or may not actually be the alien’s HQ in disguise. Now let's talk about the main characters, even though Cassie is the narrator Ben Ross and Laurie Sanders are the major characters and the protagonists. I really liked this book for its fast paced writing it did not take long at all to get to the action. This book takes place in the future which makes sense for its dystopian genre and post­apocalyptic story. Also, it takes place mostly in a high school. I have not seen the movie so i can't compare or contrast those two. Also, I have never read a different Rick Yancey book so I do not know how he writes. Based on the Fifth Wave I can tell that the Infinite Sea and the third book will be similar. Action packed, fun, and interesting. I would recommend this book to both boys and girls and someone who loves the dystopian genre. All in all this was a superb book and I LOVED it!
