I checked my copy out from the library and I'm glad I did. I'll look forward to reading your thoughts! :)Īren't we funny with our love of post-apocalyptic stories? The World as We Knew It is a nice, quick read because of the writing style. I'd have read The Dead and the Gone, anyway, but I'm looking forward to it even more, now. It would have been nice if she'd balanced the religious aspect better, but that was my only complaint about the book. Maybe the author wanted to show two ends of the spectrum. My sentiments exactly, and very well stated. I don't like it when religion is portrayed as just one big bad monster Not sure I can wait, though! I'm going to look for a copy, today.

I've already put The Dead and the Gone on my wish list. Maybe the author was trying to show that belief in a higher power can easily be twisted to the point that it's not really anything but the individual's will? Or something like that! :) That's a great way to put it, I don't think those "Christian" characters had anything to do with Christ.
