This is the second book in Pfeffer's Last Survivor's series. In the first book, Life as We Knew It, an asteroid has collided with the moon which knocked it closer to Earth. Because of the different gravitational pull, all sorts of natural disasters happen and you find out how a family in Pennsylvania deal with the hardships. In The Dead and The Gone, the perspective if from a teenage boy living in New York City and the things he must do to take care of himself and his two sisters after the moon is hit. I was hesitant to read this because I liked Life as We Knew It so much and really felt that it could have been a stand alone. I don't think this lived up to the first novel, but it was nice to read a different perspective.
