I didn't like Life As We Knew It. 
 ***** 
 Life As We Knew It bored the reading crap out of me. Yes, there was a time i was so afraid (the panic-buying grocery scene), and i was kinda relieved (the ending), but Pfeffer's storytelling is not for me. I'm an action-packed kinda gal, and since this book has no action at all, i didn't like it. 
 Miranda is living her normal teenage life when suddenly, the moon got knocked out of its orbit - now it is too close to earth which causes the erratic changes in weather, with no electricity and technology. Goodbye, life. Hello, survival. After the event that changes everything, Miranda and her family struggled to survive by staying in their home, hoarding canned goods, water, and medicine. The post-apocalyptic theme is very real it made think that I need to survive with Miranda. Alas, it did not hold my attention too long. I started reading last October, put it down a week later, then i picked it up again just days ago. I guess the whole conflict was laid out in Miranda's family's chances to survive in their house and that didn't excite me. 
 Life As We Knew It will not appeal to readers like me who yearns for action and adventure in their post-apocalyptic reads. The concept is good, in fact, it still gives me the creeps because it is plausible in real life. But the storyline did not work for me.
