The riveting conclusion to the Life As We Knew It Series.
It’s been more than two years since Jon Evans and his family
left Pennsylvania, hoping to find a safe place to live, yet Jon remains haunted
by the deaths of those he loved. His
prowess on a soccer field has guaranteed him a home in Sexton, the
well-protected enclave he entered with his stepmother, Lisa, and her son, Gabe,
using the three safe-town passes they were given. But Jon is painfully aware that a missed goal, a careless word,
even falling in love, can jeopardize his life and that of his sister, Miranda,
who lives outside the walls of Sexton.
When everything he values is at stake, can Jon risk doing what is right
in a world gone so terribly wrong?
3/5 stars (liked it)
I loved the first book, liked the second one a little less
and the third one I liked. This one
started off very slowly and with Jon as narrator. I barely remembered Jon from the previous books and I did not
like him at all in this one at the beginning of the book. He was a spoiled brat of a Claver. But then he met Sarah, who opened up a new
way of thinking for him. Teaching him
that Clavers and Grubbers are people and they shouldn’t be treated
differently. This book did show what
kinds of things people will do to other people and how even when the world is
ending there is still the rich privileged people. By the end of the book Jon was a more likable person and he
redeemed himself. I did like the ending
of the book.
