I am not the demographic for this YA book, but I enjoyed it, nenetheless. While it at times a little didactic about the perils of good and evil, at its core it is a great story of a few unlikely heroes in an occupied world. I am dismayed…

Pretty good YA story that takes seven good mid-teen kids and one messed up one from childhood to instant adulthood. Not preach-y, not condescending, but it does show the process of taking responsibility and learning to deal with others.…

This is pretty much the Australian version Red Dawn [the original 1984 movie or the 2012 remake].

I am now reading the third book of this series, so that just goes to show that this is a book worth reading. In the beginning you may find it takes a while to get into the action of the story, but it is worth it so, stick around as long as…

I did like the setup and the authentic teen voices, but I felt that there was too much "tell" at times -- when Ellie waxes philosophical about how "humans invented hell and evil," I want to skip ahead to get to the parts where they blow up…

This book is good, but I felt as if the book didn't exactly pull e in. it isn't the book I would normally read. It is OK but it seamed the story a bit unreal.

Tomorrow when the war began is a great book and the start of a great series. You cannot put it down. John Marsden is a genius. I highly recommend it.

Incredible book about growing up, that is suitable for anybody both boys and girls. I would recommend this book and the six others that follow it.

The movie needs to do the whole series or there needs to be a sequel. Only held up by the great special effects. The script was weak and needed more depth.

Tomorrow, When the War Began is excellent. As YA fiction goes, this book excels in capturing the feelings of teenagers in a realistic way. The situation these kids are in is extraordinary, but because their emotions are captured so well,…

O M G!!! The characters as portrayed in this movie prove that natural selection doesn't exist! My memory of the book is that they were no where near as big a bunch of numb nuts.

Tomorrow when the war began is a fantastic novel written by John Marsden. I love the way you become so attached to the characters, and it has a great storyline. I really enjoyed reading this book.
