//Life As We Knew It// is a natural disaster based book that has a unique plot to it. What I like about the author is that she thinks outside of the box. Also, whenever something bad happens, there is a small thing that gets better for them. But the bad thing about the book is that there are a few grammar errors. I think the theme of the book is to not give up. All through out the book, when someone tried very hard and persevered, something good came out of it.

The main characters are Miranda (Junior in high school), Jonny (thirteen), Matt (in college), and thier mom. This is told from Miranda's point of view. Her family lives in Pennsylvania. Miranda is a typical teenager who tries to live a normal life, when a meteor is going to hit the moon. Little do they know that everyone around the world's life is going to change immensely. The moon comes really close to the Earth and causes tsunamis and volcanic eruptions all around the world. Imagine a world with no sunlight because it's blocked with volcanic ash, no electricity, gas prices are over ten dollars a gallon, there are many diseases, and a scarce amount of food other goods. It is such a struggle to even stay alive. To find out what happens and how everyone handles this aweful situation, read //Life As We Knew It//.

This book is entertaining, shocking, and hard to stop reading. I would recommend this book for anyone who likes science fiction. //Life As We Knew It// was a great book.
