Had the first half of this book not been bogged down by chasing idiot kids through the bush and kept focus on the war and the main characters, it would have been much more enjoyable. The children seemed to have been thrown in the mix to make our teen guerilla fighters a little less rough around the edges, but what the author seems to have done is tossed in five useless characters that needlessly get in the way.

It's not until the second half that the story picks up and returns to the character interaction and heart pounding excitement this series is known for.

this Story is a wonderful one that you can't get enough of! i can't get enough of this epic tale! And to think this is story about teenagers. this is a GREAT book! you must get it!

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 released
The 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

I have just read this series of books in a very short space of time, and think it is a great story. There are a lot of Australian colloquialisms though, which may be confusing to North Americans.

Out of all the books, this was the one with the least action, but still a good car chase and a 'breather' in the action of the war...

I recommend the whole series.

This book is definatly one of the best. It is an adventure thriller, it captures you, and never lets go.The descriptions vivid. The night is for Hunting is about a group of kids, who in the first book of the series, learn after camping, their country has been invaded. there are 7 books in the series, along with a series after the war. I recommend you buy all of them. you wont be able to stop. Not only is it a Thriller but throughtout the series the main charecter has to struggle with emotions, and the growing violence inside themselves. These people stay with you, and you start to feel they are real, and you know so much about them. They become a part of you, youll hate to leave them. I know I did.

This may be the weakest volume in the Tomorrow series. It is still a non-stop page turner, but it didn't have the action you'd expect after reading the first 5 volumes. The story is mostly about dealing with a band of feral orphans of the war. They cause constant trouble and frustration for Ellie, and the others. This is the only book in the series that leaves a cliffhanger at the end to get you crying for the finale...which I will start to read as soon as I finish this review.

This is the story of the century. This is a definite must read. This is part of one of the most phenominal series of this century. This gripping story will have you guessing. The details will set a scene all its own. With a cliffhanger, it will leave you begging for the next book.

Ellie and her crew are still battling the forces which have overtaken their homeland: here their rescue of a band of near-feral children almost exposes their cover and endangers all their lives. Ellie faces some hard truths about her changing personality in the face of constant war and conflict and Marsden remains true to his riveting action and fast-paced style in this ongoing story, which is hard to put down and accessible to newcomers to the plot.

The Tomorrow series may be the best seven books I've ever read. John Marsden is an excellent writer, and he almost make me think that this war is real.
But this book probably is the worst of the seven. It wasn't such a thrill reading it as the others, as this book's just made to build up the tension for the grand finale in "The Other Side of Dawn". The only thing that really happens is that they run a daycare center for some feral kids, and that they get aware of soldiers lurking outside Hell.
Luckily, Marsden can with his spell-binding writing still capture the reader in this book.

The book The Night is for Hunting is a sequel and an excellent, well-written book

by John Marshen. It is about a group of teenagers who are caught up in a war. The group

comes upon a Circle of friends that are starving, dirty kids who mug them. When enemy

soldiers envied the bombed city, they head for there hideout, hell. The kids that journey

to hell only to find it have been overrun with enemy soldiers. After the solders are

supposedly gone, the kids disappear. With one of them dead and the rest with gashes and

broken bones, there is no hope for them. Whale the teenagers are gun fighting with

Themselves and the remaining, growing treat of the enemy soldiers. With another kid

dead, they decide to find there back to hell. When they get back, they find bodies

in addition, one teenager dead. Together the teenagers and the kids team up and fight off

the enemy. Only ending in disaster for them. With little ammunition and even less hope,

they attempt to rob a food truck for food, but only getting them arrested. Now they

decided they have to break out. Will they survive? After all life is like a car chase, fast

and unpredictable.

I strongly recommend this book to those who thirsts for adventure. The Night is

For hunting is a truly awesome book.
