THE AGE OF MIRACLES

Author:  Karen Thompson Walker
Genre:  Sci-Fi, Standalone
Published:  2012
Personal Rating:  2/5 (not enjoyable)
Format/Narrator:  Audiobook/Emily Card
Yearly Count:  103


Julia shares her experience of when she was 12, and the world began to slow down making the days and nights grow longer and longer.

I thought this was an adult book, but as soon as it began I realized it must be a YA book and went with that assumption all the way through.  However, since finishing it, I looked it up and discovered that I was incorrect in my assumption; it was in fact an adult book like I thought before beginning it. That has left me baffled.  It so reads like a slow moving, uneventful YA book.  Sadly, I was bored for the majority of it and don't understand its high praise.
