The 5th Wave discussion

Who do you think Cassie was better with? Evan or Ben?

EVAN WALKER!!!!!! All the way

I think she'd be better with Evan, but I like Ben as a character SOOO much better than Evan. He's so much cooler and more capable. I actually found Evan kind of annoying, how Cassie constantly commented on his "milk chocolate breath" and "big, warm, soft hands."

It's a tough call. Evan is so... Evan. And Ben is a new person now after what happened. He has changed and I think he is pretty awesome.

EVAN WALKER!!! As creepy as he's, he might be the best match for Cassie. Ben has Ringer. They are perfect together already. I don't see Ben and Cassie becoming an item. XD

A mon avis, definitely EVAN WALKER!

Evan. Why would you even ask that???

IKR!!

Evan walker. Omg I love him so

Evan Walker!!!!

I'd give it another book before I take sides. Sure Evan Walker tests positive for couple material, but I would "at least" give Ben a chance to prove himself in the sequel.

Yeah I agree :) For book 1 I am on Evan's side, but I may change when I read book 2

Evan walker, if he's still alive!!!

remember when the drones were falling at the end? then there was something flying the other way? i think that was evan..

If he is still alive then Evan because Ben only liked her cause she saved his life though i might change my mind

Ben is really awesome and Cassie is...well, not. Evan is just plain creepy and him and Cassie are really awkward but I wouldn't do anything to break where Ringer and Ben are going even if that means Cassie and Evan have to continue their awkward, stalker-ish and creepy relationship :3

Evan Walker!! <3

Evan Walker!...

Ben Parish of course! i don't understand how someone could like Evan.

Evan Walker!! He was completely transformed because of Cassie, and you just know he would be heartbroken without her :)

EVAN!!! If she falls for Ben, I will stop reading these books!

she would be dead by now with out Evan! 100% Evan.

Evan!! Well I want him for myself <3

It is a tough call. I like them both. Evan may be everything that Cassie distrusts and hates but he did save her. He completely transformed - he had many an opportunity to kill Cassie; yet, he did not. He fell in love with Cassie and in turn she saved him; she gave him a reason worth dying for. In the end, she finally trusts him. Ben is a soldier with a heart of gold. He kept his promise to Sam/Nugget and went back for him. Despite the secret crush, I'm not sure how I feel about Ben and Cassie. I see him and Ringer together. He is challenged by the fact that she does not smile and it is cute the comments, innuendos, and stunts he pulls to get her to smile. In the next installment, I hope that there is not a love triangle. There is getting back our Earth and exterminating the aliens to focus on. All in all, Cassie+Evan; Ben+Ringer.

She would be better with Evan, but Ben is a way more awesome character.

I like Ben waaaaay more than Evan, but I want Ben end up with better character, Ben already with Ringer in my opinion. Well let Cassie end up with this Evan -_- Evan likeee have no feeling at all I just couldn't geeet in touch with EVERY character in this book! #frustration

EVAN!!!!!!!

Evan ;)

ben disappoints me geez. He ignored Cassie like she didn't exist in school and if some guy did that to me i be like DEUCES *peace sign* so I want the babe Evan

I think when it comes to who's better with cassie, it's Evan, of course. Ben and Ringer should end up together :-) When it comes to them as characters...hmm...thats a hard, but I'd have to say I prefer Ben more.

Also I'm hoping for no love triangles in the infinite sea.

I prefer Evan with Cassie but as a character I prefer Ben. Maybe it's due to the fact that we got to see Ben's point of view and I just feel more connected to him because of that. I really hope this doesn't end up being a love triangle because I don't want Ben and Cassie together. Plus Ben kinda pissed me off at the end by putting the moves on Cassie I was like whaaaat?! 5 pages ago you said you didn't even know her :P

Evan of course, by all means. ^^ If Cassie gives in to Ben, I would feel like he agrees to be with her only because he doesn't really have much to chose from, and I wouldn't like that, no.

Um Evan duh....... isn't it obvious?

Something honestly just points me towards Ben, but I have to go with Evan. He is just too sweet!

Evan Walker for sure. I was like no no no when he left Cassie because he needed to do something. I'm really hoping there is not going to be a love triangle and that Cassie does not fall for Ben. Like everyone, Ben + Ringer and Evan + Cassie (!!!). I just love Evan.

I don't know.....it would be nice if it was Cassie and Ben but then you feel bad for Evan because he's so in love with her, so right now Evan and Cassie and then Ben and Ringer. But if Evan ever dies then Cassie and Ben and Ringer can like be alone or something

Sammy wrote: "EVAN, EVAN IS PERFECT SO DONT QUESTION IT. And if ben and her end up together ill cry and not come out of my room, ever again. because if she ends up with ben who will end up with ringer"

I 100% agree with Sammy ;)Ben doesn't even like Cassie. He oh so clearly likes Ringer. Why else would he try and try and try so hard to get her to smile? He didn't even notice her before the end of the book and I'm pretty sure that by the end, Cassie has the slightest of feelings left for Ben and then the rest of her feelings are toward Evan. Evan is my favorite character in the whole book next to Howard ;)

I so agree with you.

I'm not sure yet, but I do find it kind of stupid that Cassie had a crush on a guy she'd never spoken to before (and who, after all that, didn't know who she was when they finally did speak.)
On the other hand, I think Evan is a little creepy and Ben is a pretty awesome guy, especially with Sammy.
Ringer...I kind of have this feeling that she's gonna be wiped out sometime along the line of the books so, as cruel as it sounds, especially when based only on speculation, I don't really think she'll pose too much of a problem....
(I sound horrible, I am aware.)

So, at the moment I'm feeling Ben...I think.
Just gonna have to wait for 6th May (!!!!!!!) :)

I don't really think that he can't be alive, it'd be too convenient...

Corine.... That's when the One comes out right????

I'm definitely for Evan though :)

Evan seriously creeped me out. Loved Ben though!

Lol I have had a ridiculous amount of crushes on guys I've never spoken too so I thought it made sense. It's not like she said she was in love with him or anything, it was just a crush on a cute boy!

Ben Parish ~ No contest!

EVAN :)

Kit-Kat...unfortunately this book (like, it seems, every other book I've been desperately waiting for) has been postponed until autumn :(

I think that's really hard to say since Ben and her have barely even talked. Maybe if they get to know each other more in The Infinite Sea we'll have a better vantage point on that question.

Best comment ever. It resumed exactly the way I think about Evan e Ben (for me, the best character)
