Some things happen ... some are good and some are bad.

This is about a girl named Cassie who is on the run from an alien invasion. It comes in waves and when it first hits all the lights go out. The second wave are earthquakes and tsunamis. The third wave is the red death which is a plague where people bleed from the eyes and mouth before they die. The fourth wave is the 'silencers' which is where the aliens who are more of a 'conscience' than a being, load themselves into humans and bind themselves to their human host. When the person turns 13 the conscience wakes up and kills other humans. The Silencers are there to wipe out the human race. Cassie calls them the Silencers because everything about them is designed to 'silence' (kill) everybody.
Cassie survives but has a Silencer tracking her and he has numerous opportunities to kill her but doesn't. Cassie wants to stop her brother from being the 5th wave which are children being trained to kill without the Silencers. The Silencer who is following her shoots her in the leg and then runs away. Cassie passes out and the Silencer saves her because he has fallen in love with her. Apparently there were two groups of Silencers one group wanted to kill all humans and others wanted to co-exist. I think Cassie's Silencer is from the group that wanted to co-exist. Basically the rest of the story follows Cassie and the Silencer.
"I'm giving it 5/5 because it is amazing! A complex story - it's great!"

According to Tiana I'm reading the kids version of this book! It's about a hobbit who is half the average man's height named Bilbo. Hobbits do not go on adventures. But Bilbo's mother was a Took whose ancestors married a fairy - and fairies do go on adventures. His father's side of the family are well-respected because they are rich and non-adventurous. When Bilbo meets Gandolf he decides to join him on an adventure and with twelve dwarves they go in search of treasure.
Rated: 7/10 (or 3/5) - "the plot is old and you can kind of guess what will happen. But the story is still good."
