Like many, I read the Tomorrow When the War Began series when I was in high school. But we were only required to read the first couple of books. However being a reading addict even then I had to finish the series. And now some years later it's still a series I know I enjoyed.
While I probably wouldn't reread it now, my tastes and reading has matured and grown over the years. I highly recommend it as a series to read whether you're in the teenage age bracket or just enjoy this genre.

It's interesting how all really action-y parts (i.e. explosions) occurred in the beginning, and the rest of it was mostly just hiding out. But it still worked for me. Some of the things brought up in the part after the explosions were really thought-provoking, especially (without giving too much away) the bit with the kids. And also the bit with Lee.

Before I got to this book in the series, I was growing tired of the saga, so I just skimmed this one.

READ IN DUTCH
My first book in the Tomorrow series for almost a year, as I've been trying to hunt down the second book that combines books 5-6-7. (The first one obviously contained numbers 1-4). I never meant it to take this long, but when I finally started it was as if I had never left Australia in the midst of their war.
As I've said a number of times before, I really liked this series. I'm a fan of dystopian stories and even if it is debatable that this is completely dystopian rather than war, I still like to think about this books as one of the first YA Dystopian novels, some sort of role model for all the rebelling (mostly) strong femaly characters to come.

It was such a good book. Fast-paced plotline and likable characters. Journal-type narration style made the book endearing and personal. Page turner and easy read. Use of Australian/New Zealand slang throughout was appreciated but foreign readers may have to google a few terms. Some parts get dark, so be prepared.
