A review by bookgirl1209
Tomorrow, When the War Began by John Marsden

2.0

I marked this one as apocalyptic but it's not really.
Ellie and her friends return from a camping trip to the outback to find that their town, their homes and their families have been overtaken and that their country is at war. Heeding the note left by the father of one of the kids they decide to "go bush" until they can figure out what's going on.

Much along the lines of Red Dawn...except less everything, this was an okay read. I would have liked more detail in everything... it seemed like so much was glossed over or left out that I felt I was missing the story.

I've since discovered that this is number 1 in a 7 part series, so perhaps my wish for more detail can be found in the rest of the series.
