The 5th wave is one of those books that you take longer to read not because it is boring but because it have so many emotions that before you could even get over prior the other comes( at least it happen to me). This books gives a great and honest details about human emotion in the post-apocalyptic world.
This book made me ask questions like Are we alone? If they are Do they know about us? I really love this book I can't want for Infinite Sea . ;)

So. I have to admit that I saw the movie first and really enjoyed it. But after reading the book I realized they really watered the movie down and the book actually told us a lot more than the movie. I have been a fan of this author for quite some time and o really feel that he has a unique voice, and original stories that he tells. Although many of told invasion stories not everyone tells them with a unique spin that can be used in a classroom to possibly breakdown human nature.

I really believe this is a good story. I can see why some people could be upset this is in a young adult genre, but you don't have to read it, and I don't have to allow my daughter to read it until she's older.

Cuando mi querida amiga Marta me prestó este libro creí que lo leería en una semana y he tardado casi un mes (lo siento, Marta, mañana tendrás tu libro de vuelta), no hay nada que odie más que tardar en leer un libro porque siento que me quita tiempo de leer otros que quizá me gusten más.
Si hay algo que odio mucho en un libro es cuando tiene más de un punto de vista, la razón es simple: Un personaje es más aburrido que otro; siempre que leía la parte de Ben pensaba "Vale, sí, no me importa tu vida. Por favor, pasemos ya a Cassie". Han habido muchas partes que me ha costado leer porque eran aburridísimas y pensaba que para cuando termine este libro los extraterrestres vendrían a invadirnos; sin embargo, la historia ha estado MUY BIEN descartando las partes aburridas y Cassie ha sido un gran personaje. Me alegra haber leído por fin este libro y quiero leer El Mar Infinito pero eso no ocurrirá hasta dentro de mucho tiempo.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

It held up. Was reminded of this while watching TLOU

Excellent piece of sci-fi dystopia while still feeling rooted in a real Earth.
I appreciated another example of aliens that could adapt and merge to create a new society rather than only bowling over the one they are conquering. Plot comparisons could be made to The Host, but the writing and changes in perspective here work very well. I know there will be a sequel (what books don't have them these days?) but I will likely be reading it.
