Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Has anybody read The 5th Wave (and liked it)? I have a question about something that really didn't work in the movie and was wondering how it played in the book.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I just finished slogging through it. It wasn't as bad as it seems, based on that. But at some point, it started to feel like work to get to the end. I skipped and skimmed a lot.

Re: The 5th Wave. It's about the character Evan. In the movie, the relationship with Cassie seems ridiculous (people were literally laughing at their dialogues) because he supposedly sees her in the woods and falls in love on sight and (follows her I guess? it's not totally clear) then saves her after she is shot by a sniper, taking her back to his place to tend her wound etc. Does it play out this way in the book? Given his apparent backstory (which BTW is not gone into at all and so we were like huh?), the relationship just didn't make sense so I was wondering if it there was more to it than that in the book to make it seem believable. It was too bad because parts of the movie were really well done, but that plot line make the whole thing seem ridiculous.

Isn't writing a whole novel a lot of work just to win the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
