About this listen

Susan Beth Pfeffer's Life as We Knew It enthralled and devastated listeners with its brutal but hopeful look at an apocalyptic event - an asteroid hitting the moon, setting off a tailspin of horrific climate changes. Now this harrowing companion novel examines the same events as they unfold in New York City, revealed through the eyes of 17-year-old Puerto Rican Alex Morales. When Alex's parents disappear in the aftermath of tidal waves, he must care for his two younger sisters, even as Manhattan becomes a deadly wasteland, and food and aid dwindle.

With haunting themes of family, faith, personal change, and courage, this powerful new novel explores how a young man takes on unimaginable responsibilities.

I agree with what others have said about the narrator. In contrast to the previous book, his voice was jarring and I struggled to finish the book at times because of the pronunciation of words like "mami" and "papi". The female characters were voiced so comically it almost sounded like a parody. The story itself is great, but the narrator's performance was distracting

Great story, not the best narrator

Read this in high-school a lifetime ago and it still hold my attention after all this time.

We’ve been listening to the series while on a family vacation. Everyone really enjoyed the storyline - This one is a bit grittier than the first book. However, the narrator was not well suited to portray female voices without sounding absolutely ridiculous.

Great Story, Narration was Odd

I have to say as with the first book, I couldn’t stop listening to it. The first book took me two and a half days to finish, but this one from start to finish I didn’t stop and took me less than a day to finish. The series so far is so well written and captivating. I literally just finished this and already purchased the next book in the series. I plan on starting the next book in about 10 minutes. I cannot wait. I highly highly recommend this book and the first and the whole series. I’m going to be so sad when I’m done with them.

Overall story AMAZING

I originally saw that the man speaking was flawed and bad. Went into it expecting bad speech. But it was good and got into the story.

Misunderstood narrator
