Tomorrow, When the War Began

This book is incredible, I recommend everyone read this and the other six in the Tomorrow Series, you wont be able to put it down I know I couldn't. What I loved about this book was how Ellie,Lee,Fi,Robyn,Kevin & Corrie all stuck together even in such a horrible and scary situation,with all ther family and friends being held captive, not knowing if help is coming and left to fend for them self with little supplies. Of course there was the usual fights and romantic relationships that come with being around each other in such a small space for so long but other then that they manage to work out a plan to survive,finding out what was happening in there town and looking out for each other. When they go into town is a whole other story, soldiers chase them, being shot at, getting shot, nearlly being captured and all this happening in only a few short days. That would give anyone nightsmares for life, so go out and borrow/buy Tomorrow,When the war began and get lost in this wonderful book :)

By far one of my favorite YA reads.

My husband wondered if teenagers are different in Australia than they are here in America as we listened to this audiobook of this story. Parents send a group off teens, boys and girls, off alone to go camping in the wild. Invaders come and take over Australia. Teens fight back, setting up bombs and rescuing their friends.

If this is an accurate picture of average Australian teens, Australia should feel quite proud. Quite certain our American counterparts would be knocked off in the first wave of trouble.

This book took me a long time. The story was compelling, but slow, which seems kinda oxymoronic. Overall, it was pretty decent, but definitely not something I will reread.

I absolutely loved it. Enough said. My thanks goes to Arfy for recommending this book to me. Bring on the next in the series.
