The Dead and the Gone (Last Survivors #2) 
With haunting themes of family, faith, personal change, and courage, this powerful new novel explores how a young man takes on unimaginable responsibilities.
So I think I read a different book than all the other reviewers on here, because I was eternally irritated and pissed off at our protagonist. Alex is misogynistic, a bully to his sisters, and a little bit of an idiot despite supposedly being one of the best in his class.Who doesnt know how to boil water!?He has a problem using keys to get into abandoned apartments and going into his parents room, but no qualms about going through dead bodies pockets? He refuses to communicate with his sisters
I was sucked in to this story like a whirlwind. I loved it! I thought this book was better than the first one, "Life as We Knew It"... This second book in the series takes place in New York City and involves a Puerto Rican family. The moon is knocked off its axis as in the first book and terrible things start to happen to the earth. Its up to the oldest kid in the family to be the "man" of the house now. Mom and dad have not been heard from and no idea if and when they will return when the

I wavered between 2 and 3 stars. But I am a sucka so 3 stars it is.In case you fail to get the wrong idea from reading this review, I have enjoyed reading this series and thinking about the series. Flannery stated it perfectly here, and here, these books are like crack! Or super greasy but yummy food that I cant stop eating even though I have a lot of problems with them. There are huge holes in this book, that I could just not ignore. I do recommend reading the first book and continuing on with
This is the second book in the Last Survivor series and I wished that I had read the book descriptions beforehand a little more carefully because I would have skipped book 2 and read book 3 instead. This book deals with the same catastrophic event that the first book (Life As We Knew It) does, but it is told through the eyes of a teenage boy, Alex, in New York whereas the first book is about a teenage girl, Miranda, in Pennsylvania. The 2 books mirror each other in many ways. The third book
Not as good as the first book, but a nice sequel that continues narrating how the moon being knocked out of orbit affects people in New YOrk now .
More like 4,5* but closer to 4. I felt like something was missing. Maybe because is the sequel many things were just thrown in there. Overall I really liked it but it was one of the saddest books I've read. The characters all have to grow up so fast and this time there wasn't a mother to tell them what to do and do all the planning. But they survived.And New York ... I love this city and I knew exactly where all the streets from the book are. It was kinda weird to see this city in position like

Life as we Knew It was an amazing novel, and this was an amazing a terrible completely got that me convinced that Susan Beth Pfeffer was an amazing author a terrible author, At first, Pfeffer paints a realistic and exquisite picture of a latino family, which slowly starts to tear apart after a near-apocalyptic disaster. At first, the book is completely believable, as are the characters, but slowly, the characters become far to unrealistic. Too religious, too understanding, too oblivious, etc.So I think I read a different book than all the other reviewers on here, because I was eternally irritated and pissed off at our protagonist. Alex is misogynistic, a bully to his sisters, and a little bit of an idiot despite supposedly being one of the best in his class.Who doesnt know how to boil water!?He has a problem using keys to get into abandoned apartments and going into his parents room, but no qualms about going through dead bodies pockets?
