This book rocked my socks while I was reading it! I received an ARC copy of this from my workplace and was sooo excited to read it. Taking it on vacation with me this past summer, I proceeded to do nothing but keep my eyes glued to these pages. When I finally looked up, at the last page, my expression was a little like this:
Seriously? I couldn't believe it had ended and I couldn't wait for more.
This narrative follows Cassie, a young girl who finds herself thrown into an apocalyptic world. Only this time, Earth is being invaded by aliens!!!!
On a serious note though -- the Earth has been invaded by aliens, but Cassie hasn't completely figured the ins and outs of what to expect. Through her journey to rescue her little brother, she begins to get acquainted with her surroundings and just what it means to be in the midst of the 5th Wave. During this trek to goodness knows where, she meets Evan Walker, an Edward Cullen-esqu boy who is terribly dangerous and terribly enticing. Yancey pulls us through an engaging novel that tampers with what it means to be alone and what it means to have something to live for. Overall, though I admit it was Twilightishly eye-rollable at times, I really enjoyed this book.
