OH MY GODS THIS BOOK WAS SOOOOO GOOD, DON'T LET THE HORRID MOVIE DETRACT FROM YOUR INTEREST IN THIS BOOK!!!!!
By: Rick Yancey
Summary: Cassiopeia Sullivan is stuck in the midst of an alien invasion. Her brother was taken away. She meets Evan Walker, and they try to rescue Cassie's brother, Sammy Sullivan. That's all I can give without spoilers...
Comment: This book is full of (sparse) physical action. But HOLY CRAP, the emotional tension, is REALLY GOOD. It's the first book that has made me have visceral reactions in a LONG time. It takes a unique spin on aliens, and there's even some (pretty good) comedy! It's part of a trilogy too, which I am so hyped about. The second book is The Infinite Sea, and the third is The Lone Star (which is coming out May 24, 2016!!!). The writing is AWESOME, and it's action packed. Well, except for the exposition. UGH, this exposition is SOOOO boring. It takes up like, a fourth of the book! Though I guess it does help with feeling connected to the characters... I guess, looking back on it, it was pretty necessary.
Overall: I'm falling for this book okay? It's jut like Muffet, IT'S TAKING OVER MY LIFE. So, 5/5. IT'S SO GOOD READ IT. I don't think I did a very good job explaining this but... Okay, just go read it.
