(4/5)Overall, I was pretty disappointed by this. I get what the author was trying to convey, and that was certainly interesting to ponder about, but I just wish there was more. It does feel a bit unfinished to me, I probably would've enjoyed it more with 50 more pages, so that things wouldn't stay so surface level.
Language wise, the grammar was pretty straightforward, I didn't really come across anything particularly challenging at least. Just nice straightforward beginner and intermediate grammar.
A cute short YA story about the end of the world. The adults are heartless and only the kids show any real humanity. I liked the descriptions and the writing itself but the parents behaviour was too cartoonish for my tastes. Even if it's aimed at kids, the author doesn't need to beat the moral of the story into the reader with a stick. Since it was so short though it was an okay way to spend an hour.

Short, pretty interesting story. It was written with pretty accessible language, but there are some words that come up a couple times that I had never heard (like meteor). But with a dictionary I think it’s very possible for beginning intermediate learners, and still enjoyable for more advanced learners.
It was a frustrating read, as I just wanted to help the main character. But I get what the author was trying to say, it just made me a little sad. I wish the story had ‘more’ to it but it is j
A meteor is expected to hit Earth, wiping out life as we know it. The book follows 지후 and his parents as they live out their last days in Seoul.
I thought this book was SO GOOD.
First of all, it’s actually really short (only 76 pages). I finished it within 2-3 days with sustained reading sessions.
Second, the plot itself is really straightforward but interesting. The focus is less on the meteor and more on how this event impacts people on the ground. Does wealth still matter? How should you s
The story opens with the world already aware it will imminently be destroyed. A meteor is heading to earth, with a 99% chance of collision; radioactive meteor fragments are already raining down, causing destruction. In 서울, city infrastructure has been abandoned, leaving residents without running water or electricity, and looting and arson have become a nightly occurence.
지후 and his parents luckily have enough food and drink to last them until the end of the world; in fact, they have a large sto
What would you do if the world was ending?
The government announces that a world-ending meteor is on track to hit Earth in a month. There's a 1% chance it'll miss. How would you spend your (potentially) last days?
As a lover of scifi and apocalyptic fiction, I adored this short story! If you also enjoy genre fiction that has something to say about the human condition, give this a shot. The language was surprisingly simple compared to the thematic depth of the story, and thus great for learners.
