We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach

2.0

I'm always intrigued by the asteroid-about-to-crash-into-Earth books, but this one falls short (as did Tumble & Fall by Alexandra Coutts--I can't help comparing them.) The main characters are flat, there is way too much sleaze and thug life, and while the characters do try to make something of their final days, there isn't much for redeeming qualities here. Don't any teens or parents want to see each other in their final moments? And a detention facility for children during a time of crisis?? I think parents would find a way to get to their children before their friends did. This book crashed and burned, in my opinion.
