This is the third and final (?) book of this apocalyptic tale of the world post-devastation. This book brings together the two characters from the first two books a year after the moon was hit by an asteroid and moved closer to Earth. I really liked this series, although it was terrifying because the scenario seems so plausible. As I've probably stated before, my biggest fear is surviving the end of the world. I think that the author is very realistic and my only critique would be that the writing is a little simplistic...but that makes sense when you realize that the book is supposed to be the journal entries of a 16 year old. She is definitely not the precocious narrator that many YA authors use to cover their own misunderstanding of what a teenager is really like.
I would recommend this series for other lovers of YA fiction. It's a quick read and fascinating, in my opinion.
I listened to this book after finishing the wonderful Bossypants by Tina Fey. This book, in comparison, was a little disappointing. While I find Mindy funny, smart, and beautiful, this book paints her as a stereotypical female airhead. She worries about her weight, her clothing, boys, etc. Ugh. I'm so far past that point in my life that I was just bored by her story. There were a couple of funny parts, but I can't remember them now, which should say something...
This is the 3rd book I've read by Chris Cleave and is probably my second favorite. I don't know why, but Little Bee just didn't grab me the way it grabbed most people I know. I loved Incendiary (his first novel) the best because that book made me think about life in a different way.
