The Infinite Sea

The 5th Wave, Book 2

By: Rick Yancey

Narrated by: Phoebe Strole, Ben Yannette

The riveting follow-up to the New York Times bestselling The 5th Wave, hailed by Justin Cronin as “wildly entertaining.”

How do you rid the Earth of 7 billion humans? Rid the humans of their humanity.

Surviving the first four waves was nearly impossible. Now Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world, a world in which the fundamental trust that binds us together is gone. As the 5th Wave rolls across the landscape, Cassie, Ben, and Ringer are forced to confront the Others’ ultimate goal: the extermination of the human race.

Cassie and her friends haven’t seen the depths to which the Others will sink, nor have the Others seen the heights to which humanity will rise, in the ultimate battle between life and death, hope and despair, love and hate.

An interesting twist

Another fabulous story in the series. One of the plot lines I loved from The 5th Wave carried on in The Infinite Sea. Though, there was a twist near the end I wasn't expecting. The narration was fabulous with the characters differentiated enough for me not to get confused. I look forward to listening to the next book in the series.

Recommended for lovers of Sci-fi Young Adult stories.

Surprising

Normally don't like dual Narrators but they did a very good job. Well written and nicely paced with a few twists and turns.

First book is better.

Story line is not as good as the first book. It seemed a little anti climactic especially toward the end.

Too sappy for my taste..

I read a lot of fantasy books but this one is way too cheesy and sappy. performance was ok but I didn't really like the story.

now thats how you write book 2 of a trilogy

After the first book I was expecting the normal average book 2, but was surprised by this one. it is actually a good book, almost could stand on its own.

Glad more of Ringer in this book. I did enjoy her in the first book. There is more character building in this book so they become very real. There is some plot prep for final book but mostly just a continuation of book 1.

enjoyable book, hope the final is as good.
