Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer

3.0

Pfeffer did an excellent job of writing a science-fiction tale of perseverance. It is just sad there are more books in this series so I wonder if it just gets worse or becomes a story of redemption. I think her characterization of Miranda, the teenager girl was pretty accurate, not quite an adult, but still a child at heart. The novel is told through journal entries and your heart wrenches each time the situation gets worse. I would not suggest reading this story during a snowstorm (like I did) because it just adds to your feeling of being alone and stranded. It does help if you have a 23-month old who is constantly hitting you on the back and saying, "you okay? you okay?"
