I love the way the author makes it seem so realistic, with the meteor hitting the moon and the after effects of it. But this is really scary too, seeing as her sister died so easily.. I think this one and the last one were the best ones.

This story was very scary--it feels like it could really happen.

Loved Life as we Knew it! Cant wait for this one!!

Just as amazing as the first. Leaves you thinking what will happen next?

I was actually suprised by how good this book was, the creepy part was i read this book in 2010. And my birthday is also May 18th.. Which made this book even better.

I really liked the book. It was a bit bland in the beginning, but the storyline is quite interesting.

AWESOME!! this book talks about how the 'GREAT GREAT' New York falls to its feet and how it deals with the onslaught of death and dispair from the eyes of a teenager, who has to become a man in the face of death, fear, hunger, and despair. GREAT book!

so depressing like life as we knew it, but still a great book!

Not nearly as good as "Life as we knew it". I know it was supposed to be a compendium to the first book and not a sequel, but because you already know what kind of hardships the main characters will come up against it took much of the suspense out of it. Also, while they are obviously using this book to set up the 3rd one, this one really ended abruptly with no real closure. Life as we knew it at least had a sense of closure and that book worked on its own as a piece of end-of-the-world fiction.

Both Life as we Knew it and this book are really, really depressing. Like it's companion novel, this one ends with only a faint glimmer of hope at the end. No happy endings! However, both books are quite realistic in that sense. Really gripping (but depressing) to read.
