Sci-fi is not one of my favourite genres, unless it has a good, solid romance in it. This one didn't.But I have this thing where if I have the paperback and the movie version is coming out soon that I have to read it first. This is probably something I'd enjoy more as a film than simply reading abou...

3.5 starsI both did and didn't like this one. The plot was engaging after some point and the writing style was just too confusing in the beginning, as it kept shifting narrations without making it clear who was speaking.The story is simple: Aliens have been watching humans for thousands of years and...

Aliens come and release waves that kill most of the population. The book picks up after an EMP, tsunamis, disease, and sleeper agents take out over 90% of the population. The survivors are trying to brace themselves for the 5th wave. I've been meaning to pick this book up for a while now and I got...

The 5th Wave is yet another one of those books that I kept looking at over and over again but for some reason kept putting on the back burner. When I found out it was going to be released as a movie in January, I decided to buy it for both myself and my son so we could read it and then go see the mo...

I saw the trailer, did a little research, and immediately added the book to my library holds list. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. The setting is contemporary America right after aliens have come to our world. They aren't your friendly E.T. characters either. The name of the book denotes the 'waves' of terr...

Hello, unadulterated entertainment. This is another one of those books for me that, while it definitely won't be going into my holy crap this is the best book of all time category, it was entertaining as hell. The opening page just set the tone so well, radiating such creepiness that I knew that I...

I saw the preview for this movie while watching Mockingjay 2. So I had to get the book just so I knew if seeing the movie was worth it.. and I dunno. The first person narrative from every character's point of view was confusing. It must be a thing to do this because I've seen it done often. I had pr...

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 lo...
