Many people say that Life As We Knew it is a very boring, slow pace moving book. How could people not like this book? Life As We knew it is a story based off of the world "ending", and the theorys created by people who think the world is going to end. It really is a creep you out kind of book that will get under someone's skin and make them think hard about what they have. I would recommend this book to anyone, even if people aren't into fiction books. This book will really catch an eye at some point in it.
Life As We Knew it is a fiction book, and many people do not like fiction books. But this book will catch the readers attention because it is pretty scary and will more than likely give the reader goose bumps while reading it. "The president was on TV tonight. He didn't say much that we didn't already know. Tsuanamis and floods. Untold numbers of people dead, the moon was out of its orbit, etc. Monday is national day of mourning, and we should all pray a lot." (pg. 43). This is one of the many quotes out of the book that will freak a reader out, it gives a lot of adventure and makes the reader want to continue to read it.
Not only does this book have a plot that makes the reader want to continue to read it, and make the reader get suspicious about the book, it makes you wonder why? How in the world could something like this ever happen? Why are people predicting these things happening to the world at the end of 2012. Where does it all come from? There are many questions people can ask while reading this.
