When I first read this book, I thought it would be just a regular old science fiction book, but it isn't. There are many original aspects to this book, such as the method of attack used by the aliens. The book did an excellent job keeping me interested, and I continued reading to find out more about the aliens, the attacks, and of course about the fate of the main character, Cassie. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend, because this is a great example of a science fiction novel that does not occur in space. And anyone that enjoys books set in post-apocalyptic scenarios will be pleased as well.
The 5th Wave, by Rick Yancey, is setin a post-apocalyptic scenario, where aliens have invaded the Earth in 4 waves. The main character, Cassie, is one of the few humans left on the planet, and she is doing everything she can to survive, even though the fifth wave is going on while she is struggling to live. She learns to trust no one, because she is surrounded by her enemies. The other characters in the book, such as Evan, Ben, and Sammy, are all possible aliens, and Cassie has to learn to distinguish between aliens and humans.
