Comments on: Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer http://youngadultbookreviews.com/2007/12/04/life-as-we-knew-it-by-susan-beth-pfeffer/ Book reviews written by a high school librarian.

I sat down and thought about main topics in this book, and a huge one was Miranda’s growth in maturity. at the start of the book, she was a carefree teen, and by the end, a tired and weak woman. she often complained about the guilt she felt towards Jonny- how she experienced two and a half years more of being a teenager than she did. her mother, Laura, recognized this change in Miranda when confronting her about how well she had handled the smoke in the sunroom, and corrected herself by saying something along the lines of “you’re an amazing/beautiful/inspirational/somethinglikethat girl,” and then “no, you’re an amazing/beautiful/inspirational/blahblahblah woman,” near the end of the book.

I have my theme- ninth grade, here I come.

- hope
- family
- struggle
- right vs. wrong
- compassion/ empathy
- human vs. nature
- panic
I’m positive that a reply on other themes won’t get back to me in the next, oh, five minutes or so (I, too, need themes for an English project), but this is for the girl scrambling around two days before school starts to finish her summer reading.
have at it.

Like not giving up.

I liked that it was realistic in some chapters. I found it quite believable. Overall, it was better than the other books I read this year.

Some of Miranda’s entries greatly amused me while others fell flat. I skipped about 100 pages of the book but went back and read them for my sophmore summer reading project.
