"He knows what you know: Run = die. Stay = die. " (44) "Retreating is not an option. Advancing is not an option. Staying put is not an option. There are no options. Run = die. " (291) This theme runs throughout the course of the book. It is the theme of all humans who have survived thus far. They are caught between a rock and a hard place. Often, if one thing doesn't kill them, then another probably will. Both Cassie and Ben, quoted above respectively, say this theme to themselves. It is despondent but also acts to stir them to action. "I don't know what your chain is, ' she [Ringer] goes on, warm breath in my ear. 'It's different for everyone. They know. Wonderland tells them. It's the thing that made them put a gun in your hand and it's the same thing that chains you to the target. '" (251) Ringer tells Ben that everyone has something or someone that they have lost when she sees the silver locket. Ben carries the locket as symbol of his sister Sissy, and Cassie carries Sammy's teddy bear.
The prevalence of this is so great that one of the Others, Commander Vosch, even goes so far as to fabricate his own. When Ben first arrives at the base, he shows him a picture of Vosch with a wife and child beside him, implying that these are people he has lost to the Others, and thus gaining Ben's trust and sympathy. It is likely that Vosch learned this trick from studying people through Wonderland. This is repeated as a reason that the Others should have killed humanity quicker, or outright. Now the people who weren't killed before are the strongest of the bunch. They were always the ones most likely to survive and they are the ones fighting back, with the most chance of succeeding at that too. "The soldiers are heavily armed, but they smile and their voices are gentle. It's okay. Time to get up. You're perfectly safe now. " (194) This is repeated throughout the first chapter narrated by Sammy, The Winnowing. This theme shows the duplicitous nature of those in charge of the camp, even before we find out that they are the Others.

and both.. one of the best books ive had the honor to read! A MUST READ!! Warning: This rant will contain lots of swearing, and massive anger. This is a rant, so I'm sorry if there's weird grammar or bad writing. I'm really not caring that much at this point. So, please, bear with me. And please know that by no means do I intend to offend anyone, including the author. DNF- Sammy's POV. I HATED THIS BOOK! Best thing to describe it? Boring as fuck. This book was my most anticipated book of the year. I was expecting so much after all the hype. But guess what? This turne.. I have successfully survived all 5 waves. The 1st Wave: Confusion (Not as good as I thought) The 2nd Wave: Hope (Maybe it gets better) The 3rd Wave: Boredom (zzzzz.... ) The 4th Wave: Disappointment (This is not getting any better) The 5th Wave: Annoyance (Just end already) Then why am I even giving it 2 stars?? Because my hatred for this book does not translate into this being a bad book. Some of the best reviewers on GR have loved The Fifth Wave and I totally respect their opinions.
I read the book.. If you could buy just one book this year, this one should be at the top of your list. I'm just going to say it: this book could very well be the next The Hunger Games! I've never seen a book more likely to be a crowd-pleaser, nor one with more potential to sweep away a legion of fans. This book was so crazily addictive that I read it in literally half a day, and several months afterwards I am still jazzed over its edge-of-your-seat action. What makes this story awesome, and what elevates it above.. i am not the kind of person who gets off on hating the things everyone loves - i don't really see the value in reading books just to be snarky and contrary and "ohhhh, the plebs are eating this up, but iiii am the internet's arbiter of taste and i only read underappreciated, obscure books and thumb my nose at what is popular. " i do both. i have read Twilight, i have read Fifty Shades of Grey. i like to know what all the hype is about as much as i like to read bunches of underknown stuff.

At the time we meet Cassie, the world is experiencing the 4th wave of the alien invasion which involves the aliens who appear to be human befriending the remaining humans to eliminate them. Because of their disguise, Cassie has two rules during the 4th wave; Trust no one, and stay alone if you want to stay alive. After, Cassie's father was killed, while she narrowly escaped with a shot in the leg. While she is living in the forest, Cassie becomes sick from the wound and nearly dies, but is saved by a farm boy named Evan. In time, Cassie grows suspicious of Evan, believing that he is a Silencer, and perhaps even the Silencer, who shot her in the leg. While Cassie is receiving treatment for her wounds, a boy named Ben, who happened to attend the same high school as Cassie before Colonel Vosch is training the invasion at Camp Haven. When his training ends, he is sent on a mission with some other youths from the camp. On this excursion, a girl named Ringer begins trying to convince him that the soldiers and Colonel Vosch have been lying to them.
