Life as we Knew It Audiobook

" A story set out in a diary fashion of a young woman's struggles with her family after an asteroid hits the moon. The story is quite slow moving with very little story progression or character development. "

" Life as we Knew it by Susan Beth Pfeffer is about a girl named Miranda and her family. They try to make it through catastrophes caused by the an asteroid hitting the moon and making it come closer to earth. They survive world wide tidal waves, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and much more. I personally, did not like this book very much. One reason is because it is a diary, and because of that it says every think that happened to her in the entire day. For example, it says what she had for breakfast if she had it, lunch if she had it, and dinner, every single day. I also thought the ending did not answer very many questions, but i guess that is what the other books are for. I recommend this book to anyone who likes diary books, or apocalyptic books. "

" This book is written for teens. It was a bit hard to sit and listen through the teeny bopper parts, especially at the begining. This would be a good book to try and make teens aware of some of the problems associated with a collapse of our infrastructure. It did have a happy ending . . . well, as happy as could be expected. The story was too predictable. But it was written for kids... "

" I only got through the 3rd chapter. I am good at suspending my disbelief but this was too much. The science concerning the moon, and there should be some science, was off, way off. After taking my concerns to my science geek daughter, she has the geology degree, I just couldn't keep reading. There are so many things this author could have done to make the 'event' more plausible. Moving on... "

" I read it becasue so many of my students were reading it, it was written in a journal format, an interesting concept - what woould happen if a huge asteroid hit the moon, what woud happen to us. It was alittle sad and not very well developed in places, but not too bad "

" I loved it. It was just lying there for the whole summer and I decided to pick it up and read it. I don't regret that decision. The story feels so real. Every time I looked up, I expected my mom to come and ask me to go cut some wood or tell me that we were running outta food.. "

" Great book! Makes you feel like you are really there! Was on the edge a lot if the time! "

" Really great she is by far my favorite author! "

" Really excellent book. The dystopian future theme is really interested, especially how they encourage you to watch the slide into a different type of life. I really enjoyed reading this - I couldn't put it down. "

" This book gave me the chills. It's totally realistic, and the events that happen make you pray that the moon never gets close to earth. Really great read. "

" I loved the perspective of this book. I loved Miranda and my heart broke for her and at times shecould make me laugh. This book is thought provoking, heart breaking and emotional. Well written. "

" I thought this book was okay. My teacher really likes this book though. I thought it was pretty slow, and I realized I don't really like books like that... "

" If you're thinking of reading this anyway, DO NOT get the audiobook. The narrator used that "I'm happy about everything" tone of voice even when it was least appropriate. Because apparently teenage girls don't know how to modulate their voices for other kinds of emotions. "

" This young adult novel was quite wonderful....too bad the subsequent novels did not live up to the promise of the first book! "

" I feel the need to stock the pantry now. :) Good book, but I doubt I'll get much sleep tonight. "

" This book was okay. It made me think a lot though about what I would do in some of these situations. "

" A little strange a parts. "

" I did like this story. It did feel real and I could see this, or something like it, happening. I also enjoyed Miranda's relationship with her family--very true-to-life. "

" This book made me want to run out and triple my food storage! "

" I was attracted to this book by my interest in real scenario's that could change the face of this world! This book did not disappoint! The story was truly gripping, The characters were so easy to like, never have I wished so much that certain characters could survive! A must read for anyone! "

" Loved this book. It's one of the best ones I've read in awhile. Looking forward to the next two in the series. "

" The ending got me mad but I was glad when I found out there was not one but two more books after this one. "

" Let's just say that this book scared me enough to buy some more food storage, and every time there is a natural disaster, I think about this book. Frightening! "

" ITS AWESOME ITS SO GOOD I RECOMEND IT TO EVERYONE ITS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

" Not bad. I didn't realize when I read it that it was part of a series. I will go ahead and read the rest of the books. "

" One of the best books I have ever read....Very intence want to read the next 2... "

" I am looking at 'provident living' in a different way now. What if there was a world-wide disaster and there would be no expectation of returning to "normal"? "

" This book was ok. I thought it went on and on with no point to it. "

" Interesting and was hard to put down. The apocolyptic events and family struggles and emotions made me really appreciate what I have and to always stay by your family. Great read for someone who likes end of the world type books. "

" It was extremely good. I like the third person view. "
