Life As We Knew It series by Susan Beth Pfeffer

I would like to write a review on The Life As We Knew It series by Susan Beth Pfeffer. I love books that cover the topic of apocalyptic destruction and how people would function in a new society.
I think the author has done an amazing job of creating lively, complete, and believable characters in this series. They feel like real people of flesh and blood that she's writing about. Bravo!
The plot line is interesting and fun to read. She isn't afraid to talk about destruction, starvation, illness, and death.
Pfeffer does something very creative. In the first book she covers a mother and her children, in the second book she covers a brother and his two sisters, and their lives intersect in the third book.
I adore this series. It is heart wrenching, interesting, and most of all it shows what can happen in a family when everyone comes together and works together. Don't get me wrong, it isn't all peaches and cream with the families. They fight, argue, and get along like real people do in real families.
I have to give the author a huge 5 star review for her hard work on this series. Bravo!
