For my book club, we just finished reading Life As We Knew It. This book is written as journal entries of a young girl who is attending high school. It starts out with her typical life a few days before "the event" occurs. "The event" is an asteroid that hits the moon and knocks it off its orbit. As a result, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, extreme weather, and panic spreads across the world. This girl and her family have to survive off of the the little food they have as people all around them are dying and fighting to survive. It is a good read. The events that occur seem so real as the author describes what these people go through in such detail, it makes you feel like you are there with them. It does go into detail about the world literally falling apart with people starving, eating as little as a can of soup among four people every other day. Gas prices rise, state borders are enforced, gangs and violence for the bare necessities. I thought it was very interesting and kept me engaged in the story.
