Perfect for tweens and teens, but not for little kids.
i LOVED THIS BOOK! when i took it out of the library, and I finished it, I realized the whole book was like 5 years old, and I was the first to take it out, and it was soooo good!

Disturbing
Although this was a good book, it was not as good as life as we knew it. Also, it is much more disturbing because of the denial, sudden deaths, and hate endured by many characters. It is best for 12+.

darker than the previous book in the series
This book is more graphic and violent than its prequel, but it gives a different view of a disaster that changed the whole future of the human race. It also covers moral issues, such as theft, violation of dead bodies, and more. Scary descriptions of the dead and dying, and some scenes will send younger readers to bed with nightmares! Overall, a good read, but make sure you can stomach the details.

Deep, dark and depressing; but addicting
Were do i start with this book; there is just so much to comprehend in this book.Basicly, this book shows the struggles of alex, a teen, who has to take care of his sibblings when his parents die. one word: depressing! There are lots of disturbing material in this book (body stealing, suicide,dead corpes rotting in the streets)This is a good book though, but its hard not get scared of it happening in real life.

Good for middle school kids
I love this book but it has some scenes that are not very appropriate for tweens. I think middle schoolers and up could handle this book with maturity and be able to enjoy it.

An amazing book for confident readers
I thought this book was amazing. The way the writer had captured my imagination blew me away and I could not put this book down. My mum read it and she too thought it was outstanding! All me and my mum could talk about was the book and we can't wait to read more of Susan Pfeffer's books!

A Great Teen Book
I really loved the book. There are some parts that might be a little disturbing for some younger kids. There are some small scientific facts in here involving the moon (ex. the moon's gravitational pull). Most of it focuses on the main character's family's survival. There are some... gruesome details involving the corpses of New York citizens. If you can handle those types of things, though, you should definately read it.
