After the book "Life Aw We Knew It" was reviewed a couple of months ago, I decided 
to read it...and really enjoyed it!  I just finished the companion book, "The Dead 
and the Gone" yesterday.  It was good too...but think I like the first one 
better...seems like they had more of a struggle.  They were both good though.  
Makes you wonder "what if" and could we deal with a world like they had to live 
(and die) in.

So keep up the great recommendations!

Subject: BOOK: The dead & the gone by Pfeffer

Pfeffer, Susan Beth. The dead & the gone. Harcourt, 2008 [978-0-15-206311-5]
This book is related to "Life as we knew it", telling of the same
disaster, this time in NYC.  The life of Alex and his family is
suddenly changed when the asteroid hits the moon.  When the flood and
tsunamis come, his mom is on the subway to work and his father is
visiting family in Puerto Rico.  Always hoping his parents will
return, Alex and his two sisters fight to survive as society crumbles
in New York City.  Things are terrible but every morning he goes "body
shopping", searching the bodies of the deceased, finding anything of
value he can trade for food.  This 321 is as depressing as "Life as we
knew it."  These books are not for elementary students, both of them
sent me into a terrible melancholy mood. The reader experiences the
total collapse of society as we know it.
