The 5th Wave
The 5th Wave is a novel by Rick Yancey written in 2013. The 5th Wave is a story about a 16 year old girl named Cassie Sullivan. The story takes place after an alien apocalypse takes place. Cassie is possibly one of the only humans left on Earth. Cassie learns that in this new world that you cant trust anyone, that it's every man for himself in the new apocalyptic world. A theme in this book is fear, survival, and trust. The reason I became interested in this book was because I enjoy action filled, and post apocalyptic stories. Also because I forgot my book one day and I found it sitting outside and began to read it. The story takes place in the edges of the city and in the woods. Cassie, the main character is the only person shes knows for sure is not an alien. Her goal is to find her little brother Sammy that had gotten lost in all the commotion of the first wave. She goes through multiple obstacles learning as she goes that this new world is dangerous. Cassie talks about how her old self would be disappointing in the things that she does now. The timing was set just after the first apocalypse after a few years later. Because its a pot- apocalyptic story there isn't a set time frame of when this story took place. I would recommend this book to any person who likes dystopian, action filled literature. The authors writing style is just normal. Leaving things in question, but using a lot of descriptive words.
This seems like a good survival story that I would like to read
