Life As We Knew It

I'm currently reading Life As We Knew it by Susan Beth Pfeffer. It's very good. The story is told through Miranda's journal entries. Miranda is just finishing her sophomore year in high school when an asteroid collides into the moon, knocking the moon off its orbit and sending the world into a frenzy. The weather goes wild, people go even wilder. It's a very apocalyptic tale, so far anyway. I know it sounds very wierd, but because of Pfeffer's writing style, it seems totally realistic. In fact, much of it reminds me of the immediate panic after 9/11. Parents picking up their kids from school early, crazy long lines at the gas station, people stocking up on bottled water and canned food. The similarities are a little eerie. The book, however, is full of hope and love.
