Omschrijving
Cassie Sullivan and her companions lived through the Others' four waves of destruction. Now, with the human race nearly exterminated and the 5th Wave rolling across the landscape, they face a choice: brace for winter and hope for Evan Walker's return, or set out in search of other survivors before the enemy closes in.
Wildly entertaining... I couldn't turn the pages fast enough
A modern sci-fi masterpiece... should do for aliens what Twilight did for vampires.
Nothing short of amazing
An epic sci-fi adventure about a terrifying alien invasion. You'll read it in one sitting
Remarkable, not-to-be-missed-under-any-circumstances
A gripping SF trilogy about an Earth decimated by an alien invasion... the question of what it means to be human is at the forefront
This is DAMN and WOW territory. Quite simply, one of the best books I've read in years
This book is scary!
A fantastic read. The 5th Wave is an electrifying page-turner
Yancey's heartfelt, violent, paranoid epic, filled with big heroics and bigger surprises, is part War of the Worlds, part Starship Troopers, part Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and part The Stand . . . a sure thing for reviewers and readers alike.
Breathtakingly fast-paced and original, The 5th Wave is a reading tsunami that grabs hold and won't let go.
...a twisty survival story that borrows elements from romance, horror and dystopian fiction
Wildly entertaining... I couldn't turn the pages fast enough
The pace is relentless
Action-packed.
A cut above anything else in the genre
Borrow this one from your teen's nightstand while they're at school
