4.0 out of 5 stars
good plot and action continues, WARNING to preteen parents,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dead of Night (The Tomorrow Series #2) (Mass Market Paperback)
I am feeling rather prudish writing these reviews, but I do feel it is appropriate to make sure parents know what is in their children's books. My 13 year old daughter and I both read and enjoyed the first book in the series. I have now just finished reading the second and know she will enjoy it, but will find the sexual content a bit uncomfortable. I will let her read it, but plan on discussing it with her. I would definitely not put this book in the hands of anyone younger. The violence may also be disturbing. I would highly recommend another book out of Australia that we both enjoyed: "Looking for Alibrandi" by Melina Marchetta. Check this one out, good romance, good plot, good decisions. Enjoy.

Not just for kids...a review by Rachaels' mom,

This review is from: The Dead of Night (The Tomorrow Series #2) (Mass Market Paperback)
I occasionally read the books that my 12 year old daughter reads, just to make sure they are acceptable. The quality and depth of this series is absolutely incredible. The characters are so believeable, with real emotions and reactions. You actually feel that you are living every moment with them and often find yourself considering what you would do if you were in a similar situation. Some situations are very violent, but our kids need to realize that war is real, and the destruction and pain it causes is real--there is more to it than what they see on the news...

The greatest war story/ comming of age tail ever told,

This review is from: The Dead of Night (The Tomorrow Series #2) (Mass Market Paperback)
I was first introduced to this serioes at school, we were assigned to read it for English, before this book all books assigned to us in school were all garbage and I expected the same, as did most the other students in my class, most wouldnt bother to read it, so the teacher read it aloud in class, for most of it upuntil the half way mark I ignored most of it, until it dawned on me that this book was actualy sounding o.k. When I got home i got my copy from the bookshelf and actualy started to read it, and I read at any chance I had, and when I finished I read the second and third and then had to wait while the rest were written and releasedThe amazing story starts off with a group of teenagers going camping, and when they return the find the Australia has been taken over by another country, they go to the bush again to hide, but can't just sit back and do nothing and decide to fight back in what ever way they can, although unconventional, when all is said and done and the series is over they made a huge impact on the war, sometimes planned, sometimes fluked, of coarse not all survive and with every loss you can not help but feel the emotional pain of the others, it is the best comming of age story I have read, and although it is listed as a young adult series, it will be unforgetable to all ages and you will develop a bond with Ellie, Homer, Kevin and the rest of the gang, I have never fell in love with any fictional charactors the way I did with these guys, not even in T.V series A story like this comes along once in a life time, do not, and I mean do not missss this book
