Book Review of The Age of Miracles

The Age of Miracles
Yoni avatar reviewed on + 327 more book reviews


This is a very sad and yet beautiful book. Yes, it moves slowly. Yes, things remain unexplained. But the characters are realistic, the writing is descriptive. In some ways it is a coming of age story and in that sense it is well done. I think the fact that nothing ever happened, as other readers have complained, made it more real for me. Just day to day life in the voice of a young teen on a dying planet.
