Questions
Can you describe the book in 3 words?

• Fictional, mainstream and... boring?
• End of Earth
• Classic teen novel
What was your favourite thing about the book|movie?
• I liked the way Rick showed that the human race has a real chance of surviving against aliens if we are smart enough.
• My favourite thing would have to be the badass characters who managed to stay alive.
• Surprisingly, there was one thing I did enjoy about both the book and the movie, and that was the fact that there was a huge plot twist... (spoiler free post).
• I liked to see the way the main character and her brother acted towards each other after so much had happened (the end of the world). I really enjoyed seeing that people still have human feeling even when they believe nothing could get any worse.
• Even though this novel was very much like any other teen-book that is out right now, I enjoyed the way the author came up with the different waves rather than just making it a normal invasion.
What was your least favourite thing about the book|movie?
• Honestly, even though the book was entertaining, at a few different points throughout the novel i felt like it would never end since whenever it seemed like it was coming to an end, another problem would pop up. The same thing happened to the movie.
• The one thing that I didn't love was the way they made the aliens in the movie. I pictured them so differently in my head while I was reading and when I saw them on the screen... I wasn't disappointed, I just wasn't expecting it.
• As mentioned when I described the book in three words, I didn't really like the storyline of this novel|movie because it's just like any other teen book that it out on the market right now. The end of the world..., survivors, aliens, love... I didn't really enjoy reading it. It didn't have a special twist to it.
• I didn't like how the story didn't have a final cut. I HATE CLIFF HANGERS!
Who was your favourite character and why?
• My favourite character is probably Ben because although he goes through a lot during the story, he is still alway able to find a way to keep everybody calm. He is also the smartest character, from my point of view.
• The character whose story I enjoyed reading best was Evan because he was the one who went through the most character development.
• Definitely Cassie! She is a badass but she is also loyal to her family. She is quiet and shy at first but then you find out that she is willing to fight anyone when she know what the right thing to do is. She is AMAZING!
• Honestly, I didn't really connect with any of the character.... but if I had to choose one, it would have to be Sammy, Cassie's young brother. This is mainly because she was really cute, not because he had any specific skills I liked.
• BEN!!!! He was smart, a leader, a strong character. Overall, a really lovable character!

What score would you give this book out of 10?
• 8 because it was fairly good. It was a really nice easy read. Probably won't read it again, but during the time I was reading it, I really enjoyed it.
• 7... A fun quick read!
• 8 because some of the characters had a really interesting and unique story! I definitely recommend it for any young adult reader.
• 4 because it wasn't too bad but I though it was quite stereotypical. It was kind of like any other YoungAdult book that is out in market at the moment. The characters weren't great and there wasn't a lot of character development.
• 10!!!! It was amazing! I absolutely tell in love with the book and I can't wait to read the Infinite Sea!
What is better, the book or the movie?
• ALL THE READERS ANSWERED BOOK!!!! yet they all agreed that it was one of the best book to movie adaptations from a YA book they had watched. • 8 because it was fairly good. It was a really nice easy read. Probably won't read it again, but during the time I was reading it, I really enjoyed it.
