Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by cat
terrific reading
The book was really great and looking forward to a sequel. Is there going to be a sequel. If so, when?
[BookBrowse: There is a sequel, The Dead and the Gone, which which is about the same event, but written from the perspective a teenage boy in New York City.]

Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by Megan
Good but not as good
I just read the book and by my understanding everyone seems to like this book. I thought it was ok. I thought that it was sad and that they talked about the sad things too often. So I thought it wasn't the best book ever.

life as we knew
The book life as we knew was an amazing book. The author, Susan Beth Pfeffer, really made this book realistic. It started out when an asteroid made an impact on the moon. Many people thought this was a time to celebrate but when they saw that the moon came closer they were scared. It changed life for everyone. For Miranda, the main character, her family, and the humans on the earth. Survival was then based on how much you prepared for it with food that would last for more than a year and that included water.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Paigee
Amazing Book!
Definitely read this book! It was amazing. I stayed up so many nights until I was about to pass out because I wanted to see what would happen so bad! Definitely worth it!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by aly.
amazing
This book is so amazing, I hate reading but this book makes me not want to stop. All the excitement, a little bit of romance and some what of a mystery, you don't know what is going to happen. This book is just AMAZING.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Emily.
life changing.
Okay, so this book can totally change your life. Recently we got a ton of snow, and I was reading this book while our power was out from the snow. I finished it and every time the power would blink, I would think oh no! the world is coming to an end! And then it would take me a couple seconds to figure out that the world wasn't, in fact, coming to an end. I would definitely recommend this book! READ IT NOW!
