Life as we knew it - a review by George Morejon



Life as we knew it
by Susan Beth Pfeffer
*** stars


In Life as we knew it, Miranda is just an average teenager living in suburban Pennsylvania. She has a diary she writes in all the time, she worries about her friends, and has problems with her parents' marriage. A huge event that's suppose to be once in a lifetime is happening; the moon is going to be hit by a giant asteroid. This is something everyone's excited for... until it actually happens. The are natural disasters everywhere, and the moon is much larger than it used to be. When the summer came, the weather just gets worse. In the winter, the snow is much higher than normal, over 2 metres. Everyone's getting sick, and Miranda's the last hope for her sick family. Everyone's left the town, and now she has to journey out to see what's left...

I thought this book was alright. I really only got to the summer, but I liked what I read. I'd have to give it 3 stars because I didn't get to finish it.

You really should finish it, and the companion novels in the series. It really was good post apocalyptic fiction! This book was my favorite of the three!

I think this book sounds great! Plus, an asteroid hitting the moon: how cool is that? However, if it meant the end of the world as we knew it, I could live without it. Still, great review!
