5th Wave Book Review

Decent Essays
The book the 5th wave is science fiction and has 457 pages, and now on to the book review. I would give The 5th wave 4/5 stars because I liked the thrill, temptations, trust, and family but the romance was not to thrilling or emotional to me. I would recommend this to 7th and 8th graders of Walnut middle school because, this book has some language is not suitable for 6th graders. The detail on the thrill is unbelievable but the romance and love is a bit off. I talked to Mr.Martin and he said this was similar to stung and cured and i read the summary and the book looked quite decent. The main character Cassie is in love with Ben Parrish before all of this chaos, everything was well before the aliens( or what they think are aliens) come up
