This is a book about an average about to turn 16 year old girl with the usual worries, boys, getting her license, and school. She thinks that the meteor that is to hit the moon, until it moves the moon and changes the world. I have to say this book gave me the creeps, because she showed just how ...

Extremely tragic. It gave me goosebumps and had me awake contemplating the future for days. It still haunts me. I would recommend it to anyone.

The world begins to end and an ordinary family tries to deal. I liked the details of how they get along as everything they depend on rapidly crumbles.

A pesar de tratar sobre una catástrofe de nivel mundial todos los hechos son muy poco creíbles, hay demasiadas repeticiones y la forma de narrar a modo de diario llega a resultar muy cansina. Para lo que podría haber sido, se ha quedado muy corto.

I have always had a fascination with survival after an apocalyptic event. This book tells the story from the perspective a young girl, Miranda. Through the journal entries she writes prior to the event and afterward, she chronicles the day-to-day events that mark the decline of her "ordinary" life a...

I listened to this one as an audiobook with my fella, who does not read and is somewhat contemptuous of books. We both enjoyed it, quite a bit, and we were both eager to listen to more, to finish it out. But at the end, he pointed out that, really...nothing happened. Which is pretty interested, f...
