wanda12 's review for:
The Age of Miracles
by Karen Thompson Walker
I received this book as part of a national marketing campaign. I probably would not have purchased the book based on the jacket description.
That said, it was a decent book.
It is written from the perspective of 12 year Julia about what she, her family, and the world were experiencing due the "slowing." The rotation of the earth has slowed to a point that days and night become 48+ hours long.
While well written, the characters could have been better developed. I don't get a sense of how this event affects them emotionally.
Also, I would expect much more drama if this type of event occurred in real life.
Light read, not a lot of depth.
