I’ve been wanting to finish this series since I first read tomorrow when the war began 6 or 7 years ago at school, and I’m so happy that I chose to finally do it. Can’t wait to read #6

This book was WILD from start to finish. I don’t think I took a deep breath through the whole thing, I was so filled with suspense but the exciting kind, not the horror kind. Although horror is a good way to describe the things the poor characters need to go through for this story to be so amazing.

This one felt action heavy and lacked character development

It's amazing how you can believe a bunch of teenagers could win a war. This book makes you think so.

Another good entry in the series, although I'm happy there are only two more left as this was definitely the weakest book so far. Still strong, but minor annoyances from the previous books are beginning to grate a little.
After the failed bombing of the airbase in the last book, the gang find themselves in the 'unlucky' position of getting taken into the base while hiding in the back of a truck from some troops, suffice to say, craziness ensues. The attack on the base, is as always with this series, very tense and the action flows extremely well...with about a hundred pages dedicated to pure action.
Previous little annoyances are starting to rear their head though, a lot of what these kids do is based on luck, and it's getting to the point where they are seeming 'too' lucky for it to be believable, Lee's 'other woman' was also quite stupid, especially since it seems very out of character and hardly any page time was really dedicated to it. Also, annoying bloody orphans, which I'm told appear in the next book. Bad times.

A good continuation of the Tomorrow Series.
The sound of a thousand dying pigs. This made me laugh so much, even if it was a serious moment. Then out of the blue, a quote from Fiddler On The Roof, my heart warmed.
The character development kept on a good trajectory. Yet, every time I read of the prison/ work camps, I couldn't help but wonder how the immigrants who fled those places after ww2 felt.
All in all, I enjoyed this book and am excited to read the next.

This was always my favourite book in this series and reading it again 10 years later after having forgotten most of the storyline was very exciting, like I was reading it for the first time again. Oh so good!

Plot summary: After the disappearance of the New Zealand troops in Darkness, Be My Friend, Ellie and her friends are back in Hell. But when they're informed that air support can't be spared to get them out, they decide that it's time to take action. After finding out what's been happening to their family and friends, they're all out for a little revenge.
Thoughts: The title of this book is enormously appropriate. Yes, they're all still emotionally traumatised by the war. But their desire to fight back has reappeared. And it's summer, so what better way to fight back than with fire! It's a theme throughout the book - there are explosions and action aplenty. The gang end up in the most dangerous situation yet, and are forced to confront their feelings about each other, the war, and themselves as individuals.
