Imagine if life was so desolate, you
were one of the last people on earth. This is that story, reminding me of the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye and
told through the eyes of 16 year old Miranda, but without the heavy religious
tone. This story is a scary revelation
of what could and may happen one day in the future. I appreciated the idea that life goes on, but
will revert back to the early pioneer days of no electricity or hot water.
However it also entails limited food and such grim weather conditions,
depending on growing your own vegetables and having stores that are open is
obsolete. After reading the novel, I saw
on the back cover that it was a Listening Library selection. If I continue the series,
The Last Survivors, I will probably
try the audiobook version.
