There is an edition which includes the first four books of the Tomorrow Series. I first saw the book in 2006 and after that I've been willing to read the book. Unfortunately, I never bought the book, because I thought it was a bit too expensive for a series I completely didn't know yet. A few weeks ...

"Loyalty, courage, goodness. I wonder if they're human inventions too, or if they just are." This is my third or fourth time re-reading this book. Though, its been many years. And I love it just as much as I did the first time around. Its ultimately a story about courage and friendship. And I adore...

Oh, it's one of those.I thought it was kind of written okay, since it was written in first person by an annoying teenage Aussie girl who apparently can't stop thinking about which boy she wants to duck. Come on, FUCK. But this is not my kind of book, with its obligatory awkward name. Thankfully ther...

I originally read this series when I was in school. Nearly 20 years after it was first published there was a film version, which for the record, a lot of people hated. Except me. I freaking loved it.

This book is definitely for teenagers. I had a different idea of what the book was going to be like, so I was a bit disappointed. The story, itself, was okay, but the teenager waffling on about love in the time of war was a bit annoying. It was written from a teenagers point of view, so I can see wh...

“But for now, for now, let’s say it’s true. Let’s say we've been invaded. I think there might be a war” Tomorrow, When the War Began begins with seven teenagers – Ellie, Corrie, Homer, Lee, Kevin, Fiona (or Fi) and Robyn – going bush for five days before their school holidays are over. They head o...

England is so awesome and idyllic for the upper classes it's better to be there in wartime than say, NYC without a war. I don't argue with that. Hell, it's why I watch Downton Abbey or Brideshead Revisted. It's interesting to see how different people have addressed the idea of teen-aged girls in...

Tomorrow #1 is a fun young adult book that keeps up the suspense and scariness of these teens' new existence. I enjoyed it, but wouldn't say it's my favourite.It deals with many real issues teenagers face in a more realistic way than some other books though, which I liked. Sometimes it's just a bit ...
