The Last Star - Review

Image
The Last Star (The 5th Wave #3) By: Rick Yancey Published: May 24, 2016 by G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers 339 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: The heart-stopping finale to the  New York Times  bestselling 5th Wave series, just in time for the major motion picture release. We’re here, then we’re gone, and that was true before they came. That’s always been true. The Others didn’t invent death; they just perfected it. Gave death a face to put back in our face, because they knew that was the only way to crush us. It won’t end on any continent or ocean, no mountain or plain, jungle or desert. It will end where it began, where it had been from the beginning, on the battlefield of the last beating human heart. Master storyteller Rick Yancey invokes triumph, loss, and unrelenting action as the fate of the planet is decided in the conclusion to this epic series. MY REVIEW: I've been putting off reading this. Had it ...

The Infinite Sea - Review

Image
The Infinite Sea (The 5th Wave #2) By: Rick Yancey Published: September 16, 2014 by Putnam Juvenile 320 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: How do you rid the Earth of seven billion humans? Rid the humans of their humanity. Surviving the first four waves was nearly impossible. Now Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world, a world in which the fundamental trust that binds us together is gone. As the 5th Wave rolls across the landscape, Cassie, Ben, and Ringer are forced to confront the Others’ ultimate goal: the extermination of the human race. Cassie and her friends haven’t seen the depths to which the Others will sink, nor have the Others seen the heights to which humanity will rise, in the ultimate battle between life and death, hope and despair, love and hate. MY REVIEW: As eager as I was for this release, and rushed to preorder a hardback copy, it then sat on my night stand for a year and a half. That has nothing to do w...
