  Ho avuto un po' l'impressione di leggere Enid Blyton, con virate Young Adult, in scenario apocalittico... il problema è, c'è una ragione se quando Enid Blyton mi appassionava avevo undici anni.

  Due stelline e mezzo, arrotondate a tre per alcuni dialoghi curiosamente riusciti, nel contesto di un romanzo in generale piuttosto mediocre.

  I find the idea of the invasion and the kids fighting to get their families back. I like Ellie's voice, it's strong, although she shows also the weaknesses you'd expected given the moment they're living. I like Homer's awakening in a military strategist or Fiona showing she's stronger than just a town chick (I LOL with the smashing window and the snake incident xD).

  I'm looking for the rest of the books. The characters are interesting and the situation is intriguing. I want to know what happens next.

  I am re-reading The Tomorrow Series in honour of the upcoming movie, and I could re-read these books again and again, and again. John Marsden is the perfect author - he creates believable and relatable characters, and a storyline which has you tense and turning the pages so quickly.

  I first read Tomorrow When The War Began in high school (quite a few years ago...) and it was one of only two books in the curriculum which engaged me at the time (the other was Looking for Alibrandi). Every time a new one in the series came out I didn't get much sleep as I couldn't put it down.

  This book is a timeless classic.
