The Age of Miracles
Makeurbest says:
The only words I can use to describe this book is a AMAZINGLY SUSPENSEFUL! As much as I did love this book it had MANY problems. The biggest problem to with this book is that it has a horrible, terrible, and very bad ending. I mean I would hate the book even more if they solved everything, but at least end the book with knowing what happened to the rotation of the Earth not necessarily solving it. It would leave us with enough closure. Another problem is that when Julia never hea...rd from Seth again the author wanted us to be really sad, the problem is that they didn't build the romance enough for us to have an ache in heart when that happened. Even with this many flaws I still love this book. Why I rated it 4 stars instead of 3 or 2, which I was considering, will probably remain as much of a mystery as the problem with the rotation of the Earth.

I had felt a little biased based on the reviews I had heard of this book, saying it was a bit shallow. I was more impressed than I anticipated, however. It went quickly, and I loved the creation of the world's dismal state, except...it still didn't seem visceral enough. The fear, of course, was - but the world wasn't as engaging as I had hoped. I felt that the friendship subplots were a little dry, but necessary considering the age of the narrator. I had mixed feelings overall - though I devoured it, I feel that I put in more energy than the book itself did. I wish I could have seen more of the colonies, and I loved the Sylvia side plot. Additionally, the ending left me a little high and dry. This book doesn't feel complete, but it was still an interesting reading experience overall.MoreLess

ok, this is the best book i've ever read. im not joking. it shows all the stupid shit that you care about when youre 11, but the world keeps turning. or not. it shows a sense of helplessness, and its so beutiful. its largley ignored, but only because people do not want to acknowlage the fear and reality in this kids book.
