The 5th Wave, Volume 1 (Paperback)

Customer Review

dice the first page, I found myself caught up in the story. The writing is strong, powerful and decorated with beautiful things, of which I would mention my favorite: "The silence was so great that he seemed to hear the friction of the stars against the canvas of the sky." Superb! I have confessed against by the way of speaking of the characters, often appeared to me very (too) flood. And in the moments that really lacked action, it hampered my reading.

Fortunately, there are relatively few of these moments. The pace of the novel is well supported almost all the time. Only a few chapters have seemed long, in the middle of history. The narrators change and to exchange as and history, allowing us to appreciate the battles on all fields. That's great, but at the same time frustrating because sometimes leaves one of the heroes in a critical situation, to find that the three dozen pages later. Frustrating!

This book moved me up to my spinal cord! Rick makes us believe in everything and nothing, preaching the true and false. With each page, I was surprised. Surprise I say? Absolutely shocked! I laughed, moaned, screamed and swallowed my tears simultaneously. How many times I typed violently against my index pages "! Aha I knew it!" Then widen stupor eyes "! What ?! Oh, my God" or tell me in the end, my assumptions were wrong. But a few pages later, my suspicions came back in full force! To be disappointed the next chapter again. I had many cold sweats! Rick keeps a moment to shake us, to challenge us, to make us gasp. Aliens Why do they come? Who are they? What is their plan? What is the fifth wave? Who are the good guys? Who are the wicked? All these questions harass you throughout the story and keeps you from resting the book. I have so many doubts in this story, my God! I masterminded miles assumptions, explanations miles, and each page, I échafaudais new! To give a concrete example, I have long doubted the kind or character of a villain characters ... And it has changed (no lie, I counted) status eleven times in my mind!

For a long time I did not have so many emotions experienced by reading a novel. And that makes a world of good! In closing the book, I said "Wow! Mind-blowing." And during playback, I have never ceased to repeat myself "Damn, this book is great!" His reputation is more to do, but I would just like to the primer, once again, notice could not be more positive.
