This book was pretty good. It is the second book in the Life as We Knew It trilogy. It wasn't as good as the first one. It isn't about Miranda and her family. It is about another family during the time that the moon is hit by the asteroid. This is the story of 17 year old Alex Morales living in...

I liked this book mariginally less than the first, but maybe it's because I already knew what climactic challenges would be popping up, and so there was a little bit less suspense? Either way, this was still pretty great: The same asteroid-moon collision as Life As We Knew It, only this time from ...

After I finsihed the first book I was anxious to see how Miranda and her family were doing, and how the world was coping, but instead I was given this. I don't understand why the second book in a "trilogy" has NO story progression at all. This entire book could have been added to the first as a dif...

I didn't enjoy this one as much as Life As We Knew It, but it was still difficult to put it down. And Alex's personal growth and development throughout the book was good to see - I think part of why I didn't like it as much is that it took me a while to warm to Alex.I do like the whole concept of th...

THE DEAD AND THE GONEPfeffer takes us from the rural country of Pennsylvania to the urban sprawl of New York City in her second in the Survivor's series. Now in a different perspective of a boy named Alex and the tragedy he faces, Pfeffer sends us through more intensity than the last novel. I became...
