The 5th Wave by MB
The book The 5th Wave is written by author Rick Yancey. The book was great in my opinion. I will describe it to you with a brief summary. The book is mainly about an alien invasion in the present day United States. I know that you're probably thinking that it's some science fiction book and it's not interesting. Keep reading and decide at the end of this review.
So, as I was saying, the book is based on a main character named Casey Sullivan who is in high school to experience it. The invasion wasn't that dramatic in the beginning. Most people didn't realize until the media found out about it. The invasion was a series of waves that hurt us humans even more catastrophically every time a wave happened.
The 1st wave was a cut in the electrical system. You're probably thinking that it's no big deal without power. But it was worse than that as in no phones could be used and all electrical appliances and things like airplanes and cars stopped working abruptly. It doesn't sounds as bad, but it got worse as you kept reading the book.
The 2nd wave was the water from the lakes, oceans and rivers rising and flooding and damaging buildings and houses. So that main thing is that if you lived near a beach, you were toast most of the time. The 3rd wave was a disease that evolved with bird poop. I know what you're thinking, it's gross. The 4th and 5th wave are basically the same thing, the aliens came up with an idea of invading the earth as looking like normal human beings and killing people. I know this sounds scary and creepy.
Well above all, I thought this book was a great hit for me. I think mainly because I like science fiction books because of how fictional they are but I like to have my own picture as I read and it helps me understand the book better and I get to have my own movie in my mind. There was a recent movie that came out about the book, but I won't get started on that because it's a whole big deal because for me I was disappointed a little because the movie wasn't like I pictured it to be.
