It's the End of the World as I Know It by Matthew Landis


Available September 24, 2019


The end of the world is coming on September 21, according to Derrick and a website he follows.  He is prepping by constructing a shed in the backyard with a steel door, gas masks, waste management system, MRE's and more.  His friend Brock and Tommy go along with him as does his family, but they don't really think the world is going to end.  As we read we see that Derrick has some memory lapses, like with Misty, his neighbor.  He doesn't remember her coming over, he doesn't really remember how she was sick and missed a lot of school.  She says he used to be funny.  We watch as Derrick becomes unraveled and discover that his mom was killed in the line of duty in Iraq.

GREAT book.  Highly recommend, will keep you reading and on the edge of your seat.
