From The Review Pile (54)


From the Review Pile is a meme hosted by Stepping Out of the Page every Thursday.
The aim of this meme is to showcase books that you've received for review (or if you don't receive review books, any book that you own and really want to read/review) but haven't yet got around to reading, in order to give the book some extra publicity.

I know that a lot of you have a huge pile of books that you want to read/review, but it understandably takes a while to get around to reading them all - here you can give a book (or two!) some of the publicity that it deserves, even if you haven't read it yet!

-----------------------------------
This week, I'm going to showcase The 5th Wave!

There has been so much hype surrounding this book, the first in the Fifth Wave series, so I feel like I'm really missing out having not read it yet! It definitely sounds different, and I'd like to see what I think of it. I really hope it lives up to all of the rave reviews that I've seen!

The 5th Wave
457 Pages

Published 7th May 2013 by Puffin

The Passage meets The Hunger Games in a gripping new series from Carnegie-shortlisted Rick Yancey. 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. On a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, until Cassie meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan may be her only hope for rescuing her brother and even saving herself. Now she must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up. Cassie Sullivan gets up.

    You do realize this doesn't actually make sense in context, right?

    I am sick of your constant attacks. They are seemingly insane. But you know what? You have no right to persist with them since you confessed you are not the Modulator.

    Stop making useless posts here and I'll stop "attacking."

    This sentence is ridiculous on several levels. Anyone has a right to post anything they want here that isn't in conflict with the TOS. The site also doesn't have Modulators, to my knowledge. Try looking up words when you don't know what they mean--there's no shame n trying to learn a new language, and the sense of accomplishment you'll have when you've actually mastered English will be worth the effort.
