The Age of Miracles
By: Karen Thompson Walker
Genre: Adult/YA Fiction
Pages: 294
Published: 2012

1.5 out of 5
I really don't
understand why this book is considered adult fiction. First of all, the protagonist
and narrator throughout the book is a 11 year old girl. It is a coming-of-age dystopian
novel that to me seems only teens would enjoy. There were two plots - the world
coming to an end and then Julia being
more concerned about Seth liking her. I felt the two storylines didn't connect
well in this particular novel. Lastly, I felt Walker should have researched
more on what would happen if the earth rotation did begin to slow - it didn't
go anyway and didn't seem necessary to the overall story Walker was attempting
to write.
