I'm torn as to giving this book a rating of 3 stars or 4 stars so I'll settle for 3.5 to be fair. I haven't read any apocalyptic books until now and it truly was an eye-opening experience.So what would you do being a teen leading a normal life, when suddenly an unexpected twist appears and gets all ...

I don’t think I had high expectations for this book but I was affronted on so many levels at the end of the book and especially after reading a few chapters of the third book in the series.

It's just a journal of Miranda, kind of simplistic and repetitive. Towards the end it started to get better, but the endi...

3 1/2 stars. I really enjoyed this book - it was a page-turning story, but it didn't amaze me or anything. I'm finding that I really like apocalyptic books (though I'm not sure I'm necessarily categorizing that correctly). I liked the diary entry format of the story, but found that Miranda (the MC) ...
