Review
This one my first (of now many) YA books I loved this series, but this one will hold a special place in my heart for the introduction of other fantastic books.
I was quite worried about re reading this as this was my first YA book that I read a couple of years ago and it holds quite a nice little place in my heart, however I was not disappointed phew !
16 yr old Miranda gives us a blow by blow account of her life from her diary, and what a life it is.
The strange thing is I’m sure this could happen, I mean REALLY happen, and that is what scares me, I’ve read some reviews that are shouting about the size of the meteor and the trajectory of it etc. but it’s a book, a fiction book but I mean it could happen !
So after watching a meteor hit the moon in a ‘Sky at Night ‘ kind of thing that everyone was going outside to watch, there were parties and picnics - however when it hits IT HITS !!!!!
The moon gets moved off its axis and comes a little bit closer to earth as the scientists did not really do their math correctly and didn’t realise the size of the meteor, (as I said it’s fiction obviously if the moon was going to be hit by a meteor I would hope that scientists would be able to tell the size of the thing!)
Anyway the moon controls our tides and this right? So after the now massive moon is hit the world starts going all weird, like tidal waves and tsunamis, volcanoes and earthquakes, you know the usual Saturday night in Merthyr !
Soo most of the world seems to be wiped out BUT because you are only reading Mirandas diary you are kept in the dark about what is going on elsewhere in the world, and you feel the suffocation as her world slowly gets smaller and smaller until they are all living in 1 room sharing 1 tin of soup between 4 people.
The starving is this one thing that gets to you, I felt really guilty while I was reading this for even drinking a cup of tea !
I will be reading the rest of the series again and the new book is out this year as well so I hope that it continues from Mirandas point of view.
I would thoroughly recommend reading this book – its fab.
