And of course her voice was deep and slightly scratchy like every seductive villainess ever conceived by Hollywood.” “a tall girl with a cascade of honey-blond hair and striking Norwegian-model-type features, piercing blue eyes, full, pouty, collagen-packed lips, and the willowy figure of a runway fashion princess. Her love for Evan is a little more nauseating in this sequel than in the first, but I am glad that this whole situation introduces us to a minor but fascinating character called Grace. Yancey's characters are so different and have so many layers that I don't believe for a second that the author was chanelling his own beliefs through Cassie, but that didn't stop me from hating her slut-shaming and self-righteousness. I am relieved that Yancey chose to write in a style that moves from perspective to perspective effectively because she might have driven me crazy otherwise.

This book has more flaws and not quite as much eerie atmosphere now the big secrets are out. There is something so utterly compelling about Yancey's writing that makes me think we would be great friends in real life. And, what can I say? I really needn't have worried. My expectations were so high that I knew it was dangerous. When I opened this book I was both excited and nervous. The atmosphere was just right, the writing was engaging to me, and I thought each of the characters brought something important to the table. I read it in the middle of my college exams and it was the only thing that kept me sane in between studying. There is something so utt I really LOVED The 5th Wave.
