This novel is a young adult science fiction written to encourage communication across generations. Quite honestly it is one of the best books I've ever read and is by far the most horrifying story I have ever read. Stephen King can chill me, but Susan Pferrer has scared the living crap out of me!

This tale is told from the pages of a 16 year old girls diary. It details her perspective insights, thoughts and feelings that surround a life altering event. That being the night an asteroid hits the moon.

It was a highly anticipated event. The whole world waited breathlessly to view a once in a lifetime event. Of course no one expected anything more then a wonderful cosmic show. Not even the worlds top astronomers or scientists could predict the catastrophe that was to follow. An event so cataclysmic that it would forever alter their way of life.

Tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, pestilence and starvation... there are no holds barred. Susan Pferrer has not just written a typical scare me story, but rather a survival guide. She shows us that it won't be easy to live and she teaches us that living is hard work, but live we must, because that's what we do. ( )

Ever wonder what would happen if the Moon were to fall from it's orbit? Well, this is the book for you. This is the story of a girl and her family - and what happened when the Moon was struck by an asteroid and fell from it's orbit. It is written in the form of journal entries, and we follow the life of Miranda and her family as they deal with the natural, economic and social disasters that happened after the moon fell.
It's a very quick and easy read, and if you think too hard on what all the Moon does for us - it could really freak you out. ( )

I shouldn't read end of the world books. They terrify me. It wouldn't take much to cut us off from everything we depend on. Hospitals, supermarkets, running water, electricity, gas, heat.

This one was pretty good though. At first it scared me but then I couldn't stop reading. I liked it a lot better than Lucifer's Hammer, which had interesting science but was otherwise misogynistic and depressing. ( )

Okay, I had a very similar gut reaction after reading this post-apocalyptic survival book as I did after reading Cormac McCarthy's The Road: high-tail it to Costco and stock, stock, stock up!
But the family in Life As We Knew It was so much more personable and I stayed up late reading, waiting to find out their fate (only the ending is a TBD, since The Last Survivors series is a trilogy). Sci-fiction which seems very plausible, which makes it pretty scary, thought-provoking reading. ( )

A young girl who has school and the the most important time in history a comet( meteor) hits the moon but it goes wrong it knocked the moon out of place and weird thing happen all around her town in Pennsylvania and her family takes worry.Read About a sad hard depressing story that will keep you on the the edge for another chapter after another!
