Way better than movies
Revisado: 02-03-24
yes, I admit I saw the movies as a child and I'm finally getting to 'reading' them now. The writing is so engaging and detailed, the performance was spot on and sounded great. The overall story is just better (won't spoil). I loved everything about it, 5 stars.

Not enough sci to this fi..
Revisado: 02-20-18
Struggled to finish it, hoping it would turn back into sci fi. Alas it BARELY qualifies in my mind. There was maybe a total of 2 hours of science, the rest was old fashioned human drama (WARNING-some of it is disturbing in crimes against children also typical sexual exploitation of women, though not too detailed). It felt like a crappy book from the 1940s honestly and I won't listen to it again. Not my cup of tea fo sho!

Entertaining
Revisado: 06-30-17
If you just need entertainment, not deep intellectual insights, then this will do just fine. Unfortunate, poorly planned title.

Historia
A burnout at thirty-five, months behind on his book, low on cash, and something of a loser, Eddie Spinola could use a shot in the arm. One day he randomly runs into Vernon, his ex-wife's brother, and his ex-dealer. Now employed by a shadowy pharmaceutical company, Vernon has something that might help: a new designer drug that stimulates brain function. One pill and Eddie is hooked. His book is finished within days; he learns and synthesizes information at a frightening rate; and he can go a long time without sleep or food.

if you want this for the movie experience, you will be disappointed. I'm glad I listened, but it was different.

Historia
The enemy is Other. The enemy is us. They’re down here, they’re up there, they’re nowhere. They want the Earth, they want us to have it. They came to wipe us out, they came to save us. But beneath these riddles lies one truth: Cassie has been betrayed. So has Ringer. Zombie. Nugget. And all 7.5 billion people who used to live on our planet. Betrayed first by the Others, and now by ourselves. In these last days, Earth’s remaining survivors will need to decide what’s more important: saving themselves...or saving what makes us human.

somewhat (but not very) satisfying series ender
Revisado: 07-18-16
Purely biased opinions here. It's OK. I tend to want more with All of these 5th Wave books. It's good, entertaining and at least answers most questions. I wasn't super happy with the ending, but that's for you to decide. Overall, I'm happy I heard the book before seeing any movies.

can't stop now...
Revisado: 07-18-16
I'm exhausted from this listen, but we can't stop here...must continue to last book... must hear how the story ends...
seriously though, it's nonstop action and still somewhat difficult to keep track of characters. Eh, I still like it though. Still, I shall wearily march on until the conclusion...

More Epic Than Most
Revisado: 07-18-16
it's a huge blending but very well done. not for the faint of heart. it's a thick and somewhat difficult listen, but if you can focus, then it's very good. There are multiple names for the same character and many names are quite similar. It can be confusing, but I understand there are reasons for each name. Think 300 in space, or later in the series, Troy meets Star Trek? maybe...

If you've made it this far...
Revisado: 07-18-16
since you probably have already read the previous and/or summaries I will stick to basic overall opinion on my party. This entire trilogy is thick and exhausting, frankly. That said, you can't stop, you must know what happens. It's a gripping plot and character development, but it's an investment. It takes more time, energy, and thought to follow these books than most others I have read/listened to. That said, I'm still glad I did. It's pretty epic.

Narrator is awesome. Book has good premise and writing. I just feel like it got soo hung up the religion it became unpleasant to listen to. There is a lot of teenage romance type stuff too I'm just not real fond of.

I guess it has to end. ..
Revisado: 02-19-15
This book switches back and forth from Hanna to Layna. Of course it is good but I personally didn't enjoy it quite as much as the 2nd book. It's always sad when a series ends and I find myself wishing there was more. All good things must come to an end however, and I will be satisfied having thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy.
