Did I enjoy this book? Oh my! This book came to me highly recommended by many people. It has been on my To Be Read pile for a long time. When I finally had an opportunity to pick this one up, I couldn’t have been more disappointed! I thought the writing was awful, the plot was terrible, the characters were unlikeable. I cannot tell you enough bad things about this book. It was awful.

 

 

Would I recommend it? Not at all! This book was awful; the movie was awful. There are so many better options out there. Please don’t waste your time here.

 

 

About the book – from Goodreads: 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.
