In the book, The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey, the unusual formatting it used intrigued me. The book goes around in different yet related points of view. As you go from point of view to point of view you find out more information about the situation going on. The book is about Earth in the midst of being taken over by aliens. It’s all very secretive and it’s brilliant how Yancy lets us in on the secret through dramatic irony. The points of view all revolve around the main character, Cassie, and you see the world through the eyes of the enemy and the people around her. This format also creates more suspense because it shows the reasoning for everything and helps sympathize with the antagonist. The separate points of view of everyone’s lives were
Personally, I did not enjoy the book. It didn't get all that interesting until the last couple of chapters. Before that, it spewed facts in my face and lacked an intriguing plot. I learned a lot from this book, but You would be better off reading a science journal, magazine, or website. Otherwise, it was an okay book.

“From the time that I could barely walk my father would ask me, Cassie, do you want to fly?” (Yancey 1). The story of The Infinite Sea was one of the most remarkable stories because of its cliffhangers and conflicts. Rick Yancey did an amazing job at making a reader’s stomach drop when a character got captured or was close to death. Yancey made the feeling of a problem almost become the reader’s problem.
Overall, I did not enjoy reading this book. Since I knew about most of the information being stated in the book, such as Darwin’s theory and global climate change, it was kind of like listening to a lecture of something that you already know a lot about. Also, the fact that this book was straight facts and knowledge didn’t lead me to liking it either. It was just throwing so much knowledge at you that it had you wondered what you had just read after reading just one page. Because of this, the book got confusing and especially boring. Also the book had no structure and was put into chapters that made the reading more confusing. So in conclusion, I would not recommend this

Mr. Cronin states it quite well, the book is incredibly entertaining. From
The topic of aliens is often a very controversial one to talk about. The aliens in THE FOURTH KIND represent many fears that we have has as humans such as the fear of feeling inferior. That is why many people don’t like to acknowledge that there could possibly be other intellectual species outside of earth, due to the fear of them feeling inferior to a more advanced life form. If aliens are anything like the human species then we should all be afraid, due to the fact that the human race killed most of the animal species and even kidnapped and enslaved other humans. If extraterrestrials ever came to our planet, their technology and intellect would be far more advanced than ours and that could possibly hurt humanity because they could have the power and technology to enslave us. They also represent how people would be willing to do wicked things like using science and technology for malevolent purposes. The aliens abuse of power in the film reflect how humans could possibly turn out if we obtained their technology. Humans could learn to one-day build rockets and spacecraft’s that can travel to other planets and their main goal would be to use these technologies to benefit ourselves. If we had the power to overtake another planet and inhabit it, we would not hesitate to do so and we are willing to do the unthinkable for power and advancement. Aliens also represent the fear of there being no god or religion because most religious people oppose science and credit god for
