First read: 17th July Re-read: March 25th , September 26th , June 21st This is the 7th and final book in the tomorrow series and i think john marsden did an excellent job with the whole series, the storyline and characters are both of things i loved from this story! I wish it was more popular because this book is one of the best ones to come from an australian writer that i know of! An international bestseller that fans will not be able to resist. Since their town was invaded by enemy soldiers and transformed into a war zone, Ellie and her four surviving friends have been fighting for their lives. One year later, a resolution may finally be in sight. But as enemy forces close in on her hideout, Ellie discovers that the final battle may be the most dangerous yet. And not every soldier is fated to see the end of every conflict. This review was originally posted on The Moonlight Library The final book in the Tomorrow When the War Began series starts with a bang as the New Zealanders fly in a bomb expert to load up the kids and prepare them for D-Day. The kids take out an enemy squadron that is moving way too close to Hell, then abandon their home in favour of the one final big push. Then Ellie is separated from her friends and lives out the last days of the war as a prisoner. Pretty early on, Ellie is separated from the others when she uses a train to attempt to escape the enemy. After a long, exhausting battle and chase that really makes you feel all of her pain, Ellie is shot in the leg and caught, beaten, and then taken to a prisoner of war camp where her real identity — and the accolades that come from being one of the teen team who blew up Cobblers Bay and the airport, among others — is almost exposed to the enemy. Through the helpfulness of her own people, and her own resourcefulness, Ellie, believing her friends are dead, makes her way to her mother, at which time to war finally over as a peace treaty is agreed to. Even though Ellie was surrounded by her own people in the war camp, I still felt alone with her. I really wanted her friends around. Step 1: Remove her friends. Step 2: She gets shot. Step 4: Her real identity is discovered. And so on. It just slowly got worse and worse. But then, while Ellie was running around the countryside, the war was called to a halt. Peace was extended, although both sides had to confirm it at first, and then negotiations splitting up land and returning Australians to their homes began. The tidying up of loose endings only goes to show how war really affects people, and how different Ellie had become to the girl who started the story. Amy Norris. The last book in this series was suitably dark. Overall the series is definitely worth picking up, a quintessential Aussie read. And while yes, Ryan does arrive with supplies such as food, there's also a more dangerous aspect to these supplies And considering the last time anyone used an explosive was Robyn Upon taking Ryan back to Tailor's Stitch with them, in order to take some of the supplies into Hell with them and come back for the rest another night , they are shocked to discover that not 48 hours after their last battle with the enemy, who had been camping out in the area, that there is an entire new squadron out there, and not just at the top - but actually propelling down into Hell itself! The battle really doesn't go well, and while Ellie and Co are able to defeat the enemy without any casualties among them, they finally realise that Hell is no longer safe, and they can no longer call it home. Two lots of soldiers in so short a time is exactly the push they need to leave their sanctuary and really strike out. While they agree to Ryan's plan for them to be guerrillas officially this time , and help with the war effort by hitting the enemy behind their lines while the Kiwi soldiers attack them with all they have for 'D-Day' , there is one condition; Ryan and the kiwis take the 'Ferals' with them to safety, because there is no way that Ellie and Co. After some delays and complaints, Ryan agrees to take the Ferals with him, but when they go to the landing spot where they are to meet the helicopter they stumble upon After Ryan and the ferals get on the helicopter and it flies off, they realise one small issue with the getaway Gavin didn't get away, and stayed behind with them on purpose in the confusion. The team ends up holed up in Stratton for a few days, while they await the 'go ahead' to head to Cavendish and do as much damage as possible. While waiting though, they find that they cannot sit still, and try to do some damage to the enemy motorbike patrols with idiotic schemes and limited success, before finally getting the go-ahead and striking out for Cavendish. On their way to Cavendish, they come across a fuel station that is well-used by enemy patrols, alongside a railway that could be a secondary target for them if they have the time. After planning their attack, they wait until nightfall before essentially going for a three-pronged attack on the garage; Lee and Ellie take out a soldier and steal his clothes so that they can make their way onto the site and blow it up, Kevin takes out the power, and Lee, Fi and Gavin create a distraction to give Lee and Ellie the time they need. During their attack, things do not go well, and Ellie ends up separated from the others and on the run for her life - especially after she purposely gets the attention of the enemy soldiers in order to give her friends a chance to get away with their lives, when she notices that they've almost been caught. The both of them end up on a train and go for several kilometres while on the top of it, with Ellie both fighting for her live and attempting to sabotage the train, and the enemy soldier doing his best to take her out no matter what it takes. There's an incredibly brutal battle before Ellie is finally able to win, and when the train slows down, she firstly takes the peg out between the carriages so one stays behind, and then travels along the curve the 'fast' way by land in the hopes that she can blow up the track RIGHT BEFORE the train gets there and thus destroy the track, the train, and everyone on it After being chased and shot at repeatedly , Ellie is hit in the leg and goes down HARD, but still manages to stay free from the enemy soldiers until they bring out dogs and she gives herself up rather than risk being turned into a pincushion, after seeing how the soldiers react to the dogs getting excited. She is saved by an enemy soldier for some as-yet-unknown reason and taken to a hospital where her bullet wound is treated and she is mostly healed, but still kept in a ward with enemy soldiers When things get a bit hairy with Kiwi bombings, and pissed inmates who are NOT pleased to be sharing a hospital room with an Australian, Ellie ends up being taken to what is basically a concentration camp, with a bunch of other Aussies mostly males , who are being held for one crime or another, such as sabotage from those who were working in factories, and purposely trying to make things not-to-scale so as to sabotage the efforts of the enemy or crashing a car which had an important enemy soldier in it. While she's fine Side note: said soldier who 'saved' her did so to save his own skin, so that there would be a backup plan for him should the war be lost to his side, he also lied and told Ellie that all her friends were dead Upon finally reaching the set of apartments that her mother lives in a long with many, MANY other Australians , Ellie arrives to hear that the war is over, it's done! She manages to reunite with her Mother, and they go back to Wirrawee to be reunited with her father, where she has to tell the horrible news to the families of Homer, Fi and Kevin It's not until she manages to speak to General Finley no longer a Colonel - he's been promoted , that she learns all her remaining friends are alive, and they'll be back in Wirrawee soon. The novel ends with Ellie and Co. They may have 'won' the war, but Australia is now two countries, and will never be the same again. I feel that these novels just got more and more intense as the series went along, and by the time I got to this one I was definitely feeling fatigued from the war myself! What with this being the final book in the series, you really see the culmination of effects that the war has had on Ellie, Fi, Lee, Homer and Kevin though of course Ellie in particular as the narrator of this series. The book starts with Ellie and Co. Unfortunately, in this book? They all crack. It's just too much, and they start making stupid mistakes, second guessing themselves, making up plans on the fly when they actually have the TIME to go through and plan ahead, not taking into account a backup plan, or a fall-back This novel really does focus pretty much solely on Ellie and her grief, with her learning that her friends have all been killed from an enemy soldier only they haven't, because he lied and feeling all alone in a prison with other 'rebels' who were no where NEAR as 'rebellious' as Ellie and Co. And when the war is finally over and she's able to reunite with her parents? All that time thinking that she'd get to be a kid again when she met up with her parents, that they'd take care of her and she'd be able to forget the war and her trauma, even a little? No luck. She basically has to be parent to them. This really was a difficult novel to read. Not because it wasn't brilliant because it really WAS but just because of how difficult the subject material was, and how the author didn't really cut any corners, or give you any happy moments to lighten the mood aside from the little 'Ellie's friends are alive! Plot summary: It's been over a year since Ellie and her friends left on the camping trip that would ultimately save them from captivity in the war, but throwing them into the depths of guerilla warfare. In this, the final installment, they must fight like never before. The war is drawing to a lose, and with the delivery of a quantity of plastic explosives from the New Zealand armed forces, they're out to do what damage they can. Thoughts: This is the conclusion to the series that dominated my teen years, and Marsden delivers in fine form. For much of the book, Ellie is separated from her friends, with no idea of what's happened to them, or, for that matter, what's going to happen to her. Ellie's fear is palpable for much of the book. There's one scene in particular in this book that's stuck with me for years - the scene in which Colonel Long makes it clear that he wants something in exchange for protecting Ellie. I spent the whole series thinking 'This must be the book with that scene'. But after six books, I assumed that I'd made it up. That said, the scene still makes me shudder, all these years later. I read the last 75 pages with tears in my eyes. Not necessarily because it warranted tears. I feel the same connection to them that I feel to Harry, Ron and Hermione. And seeing their story come to an end once again will forever make me feel all the feels. Ok, this was a great close off to the series!! But I really loved the development of the characters over the 7 books! Definitely worth a read, especially because the books are quite short! This review will contain Tomorrow series spoilers. And one for Harry Potter. I'm not going to spend anytime on what's great about book. It has everything that fans of the Tomorrow series have come to expect and love. It's fast-paced. There are big action set-pieces. The themes of friendship, loyality, love are all still there. It's heart-breaking at times. So instead, I'll go into some of the aspects I didn't like and why I rated it only 3 stars. Gavin - I'll just say it, this was a terrible character. What was Mr Marsden thinking? I can buy a group of year olds becoming guerillas. I can even buy them finding kids living on the street. What I can't buy is them towing a 10 year-old deaf kid around the bush with them while they blow stuff up. And the way he gets to stay with the group was absurd. Like none of them would notice that he didn't get on the helicopter or figure he would try to pull something? Now instead of focusing on four characters plus Kevin sorry Kevin! The train sequence and the chase - These two set pieces were just convoluted, hard to follow, went on too long and at times, made not sense. Since this was the last book, I wished we had got something better. No discussion on just how F'd up these kids are: - The whole discussion of just how much therapy these kids would need and how they'd be suffering from PTSD was barely mentioned. We got Ellie mentioning her therapist in New Zealand and she should call her and that was it. After what these kids went through, there should have been more said on how they were effected and the type of help they were getting. The relationships. She doesn't love him again but they still talk and instead of Ellie being empathic, she sounds annoyed. I hate the choice of words here. She may not be 'in love' with Homer but after what they'd been through together, she'll always love him. This may have bothered me the most. Ellie, Homer, Fi, Kevin, and Lee are the only five people in the world that can understand what each has been through. They would need each other. We see it in real life today, vets helping other vets get past what they've experienced. Kevin, Lee and Homer may not be living together raising kids like on 'Full House', but I don't see them not staying in contact. They are the definition of a Band of Brothers. The Ending - This is YA fiction and there is nothing wrong with nice, tidy, and happy ending. The Harry Potter series proved that. While I hate '20 years later' epilogue, as a reader who grew to love Harry and his friends, it was great to see that they were all happy and involved in each others lives. There is absolutely no reason that Mr Marsden couldn't have give us the same thing. I feel I deserved better. I saw no reason why Mr Marsden couldn't have just told us that Fi and Homer and Ellie and Lee weren't seeing each but were still close friends. That Kevin needed some time away so he went to New Zealand. That Ellie and Homer were still thick as thieves. How all five had a special bond that was formed in Hell pun intended and they will always be part of each others lives. This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers. Show full review. Ewa humanizmowo. Pierwszy i ostatni tom najlepszy. I feel at a complete loss now that it's ended. There were times that I did not want this last book to be done, but too many times, I could not bear all of the horror of the kids fighting the enemy soldiers and all of the hardships they were experiencing. What Ellie and her friends and all they went through, can never be appreciated nor understood, except by someone who has lived through what they did. It was a masterful accounting and I am so glad I stumbled across this series. The wrap was well done. Ellie said 'I know I won't live happily ever after. I want more than that, something richer. I want to go right up close to the beauty and the ugliness. I want to see it all, know it all, understand it all. The richness and the poverty, the joy, and the cruelty, the sweetness and the sdness. That's the best way I can lead a life I can be proud to call my own. I want to experience everything it has to offer: LIFE! Leah Jane Speare. This is a first I've read this entire seven-book series all in one year. And it's just as worthy and awesome! I wish it didn't have to end. These books have been a great cure to 'so many books, what should I pick up for a relaxing read in between? Now, I haven't written reviews on every single book. But I did review the first book on here, at the beginning of this blog. And to this day, it's the most viewed review I've ever written. I really wish this series'd get more publicity here in the States, but I know you guys in Aussie appreciate it's greatness. I mean, it's kind of hard not to include some accidentally. But I'll try my best, and also not include any from this one Lots of my opinions have to do with major events that would spoil for the not-yet-readers. I'm a normally peaceful person War books are a turn off for me. Not this series though. And I think the reason I love them so much, is because of the intense psychology involved. None of it is exaggerated to sound cooler, people die. A lot. Friends change, relationships are extremely unstable and this is war, and it sucks. Expanding on the relationships. For the first three books, romantic relationships were very present. But as the story moved along, there was less time for that, and more time to figure out if your friends could hold your back in a shootout. I liked that, and the romances in here I never really liked in the first place. Well, except Homer and Fi. They were awkwardly sweet for a while. Ellie's not one of my favorite protagonists. Lots of decisions she makes, and things she does I did not agree with and I got mad at her sometimes. I think that's because if I were in her shoes, I wouldn't be able to handle anything at all, just end up like Kevin did with a nervous breakdown and hinder my friends for two books worth of adventures. So I admire for her strength of what had to be done, but it makes me sad to think she's my age and had to kill so many people. Homer, to the very end, remained my favorite character. He always says the wrong thing, but that keeps things just a little bit brighter sometimes and I could tell he cared so much about his friends. Fi went through the most character development throughout the year-and-a-half-long war; from a girly city girl afraid to misplace her make-up bag, to a loyal best friend of Ellie's and not afraid to blow stuff up. She actually enjoyed it a lot more than she should have. The ending There is obviously no happily ever after; that would just be inconsistent and stupid. But it's realistic, and scary because of that. Marsden did an excellent job at tying everything up, especially some ends that had been loose for a few books. Ellie's troubles are not over, and she has a hard time ahead of her still Throughout the entire book I had no idea how it would all end up, so I want to keep that feeling for you guys too. Just know I got chills a few times, and cried a bit. I could go on and on with every detail in the entire series, but this is too long already, and I'll just let you get to reading the book, or series, if you haven't started already. So after screaming in excitement, I watched it. And it was perfect!!! Totally good job, especially the casting! I recommend seeing it whether you've read the book s or not! Can't wait for the second one. From some Goodreads browsing I found, to my delight, a follow-up series! The Ellie Chronicles! I'm very interested to read those, and I hope my library has them BUT don't even look at the page unless you want entire series spoilers like I did a few months ago. Not on purpose. Alright, now I need another long series to get addicted to! I have mixed feelings about the final book. It was action-packed, which I should have loved, but I just didn't feel invested. I didn't like how Ellie got split up from the others for half the book. Looking back, I think that's why it felt so weird to read and where it fell flat for me. This series is what it is because of the gang and how they work as a team. It's not to say I don't love Ellie because I do, but it's pretty much always been them all together, never just Ellie on her own. Considering how much I love the characters, I wanted more time with them, knowing this was they last book of the series, but that was cut short. Overall, I liked how it ended and it was realistic, but I was also left wanting a bit more from it. Overall, a good series that's held up very well. Recommend for the great characters alone. This book series is brilliant and a must read of a war, romance, adventure, survival and teen series! Also, I really love all the different titles across the 7 books. Some things end, but war never does. One of those solid endings that wrap things up really well but left me feeling a deep sense of melancholy. Actual rating: 4. Ale nie wojna. Max Bramwell. The end could have been done better I feel. Great book nonetheless. It's been a little over a year since Ellie and her friends returned from their camping trip in Hell to find their country had been invaded and their families captured. The original group of eight has been reduced to five, and they've gained a group of rescued orphans. Now the New Zealand troops are preparing their final assault, and Ellie and her friends are about to be called into action for one final time. Reading the blurb and other reviews I thought this book would be a series of fairly random attacks where all the main characters were involved. Without including any spoilers, all I will say is that the story took some totally unexpected twists and turns. It was an incredible journey that kept me glued to the page. Knowing that the series and the war would be ending in this book, but not knowing how or whether the characters would survive made it unputdownable. The ending is fitting to the series, and I'm really glad there wasn't a movie style perfect happy ending where everything is tied up in a neat little bow. At the end of the day the characters have been through an incredible amount so to make everything all better again not only would have been unrealistic, but also would have devalued the previous books. I'm making this a bit of an overall review of the series, as I find it hard to separately review books that form a continuous story the way these do, so this review will probably be a general overview of how I felt about them. I've been wanting to re-read this series for a while, because I remember being obsessed with the books as a kid--I must've read them two or three times within a few years. About a decade later, I still think they're fantastic. They're action-packed, but not devoid of introspection or emotional development, and the way they are written makes it easy to get into Ellie's head even though I have never been able to actually imagine myself in her position, and hope I never will be. Ellie, and all her friends for that matter, are realistic, rounded characters like that, quite possibly because Ellie is the one who is writing about all the events and the people. I'm glad that they aren't superheroes, but that there are consequences to their actions, even though they aren't always fun to read about. As bad as it sounds, I'm even, in a way, glad not all of them survive, and that they die in such different ways--not because like them dying, but because that is what terrible events can do to people, and it's as much part of it as all the other emotions and events the teenagers go through. It always seems difficult to let go of such characters after finishing a series. One thing that has always stood by me is how upset it made me that in the end, when all is over, nothing is the same as it was--the whole situation, their relationship with each other, their relationship with other people they are reunited with. I was terribly sad about Hell being so screwed up their safe place will never feel safe again. Now that I'm older, I feel it adds to the believability I'm aware that isn't a word of it all. That's sad, but that is life. I might read The Ellie Chronicles at some point. I've always wondered how life would go on for her. For now, though, as much as I love these books, I need a slight break from the despair of reading about a war zone. Despite some initial reservations, I've grown to love this series. This finale offers the same brilliant action and heartwarming personal stories as the other novels. The seperation from the ferals was absolutely heartwrenching, and the group went out with a bang in their final contribution to the war. However, I was completely disappointed by the ending. I can see where Marsden was coming from- this was the end of a violent war, and a 'they lived happily ever after' would have been a bit unrealistic. But I think he represented Ellie as too fickle in the end. I really thought she was over that drama , and a girl that breaks a promise to a little girl And beyond that, the cruel splitting up of the group I understand that their relationships would have a little tension now, but after everything they went through, it just seems bizzare. And I suppose that somewhat naively, after how independent the group acted for so long, I did not envision them becoming obedient teenagers that follow the decisions of their parents ie. Fi's move to the city. They just seemed too grown-up for that. Anyway, this novel is as brilliant as its predecessors, and although I personally hate the ending, if I view it from a distance, I can understand and respect that Marsden's ending stays true to the cold, hard, reality. I think I just got too emotionally involved in the series. I totally knew that the rest of the group was alive! I was in complete denial when Ellie thought they were dead.. So this is the seventh and final book in the Tomorrow series by John Marsden. To be honest I'm surprised this series isn't more popular than it is. It has everything it needs to be a huge hit, although I have to admit that it is missing vampires, thankfully. This entire series was written in the first person by a female protagonist named Ellie. Her character developed well throughout the series but when it comes right down to it I didn't particularly like her. In fact she was my least favorite part of the entire series, she came across as overly possessive and at times seemed to treat her friends more like objects then people. It certainly managed to show that war changes people. These books read very fast so if you're a fast reader it wouldn't take too long to go through the entire series. The action and the overall story managed to hold it all together and even though I didn't give any of the books in the series five stars I would give the series on a whole five stars if I could. This was an amazing end to the series,particularly in the realistic portrayal of how life can't go back to how it was before the war. My only criticism is that some of the close-knit friendships and relationships got cut off too quickly, which may be realistic but was still disappointing. I definitely need to track down the three books in the Ellie Chronicles to read, too. Katie Scott. I am very glad I read to the end of this series. Was a great last book. I appreciated that. All in all a great series! Kerrie Paterson. Author 13 books 20 followers. I'm so glad I have The Ellie Chronicles ready to go on to, because I'm reluctant to leave this world. The series was wrapped up well with action and emotion, plus a healthy dose of realism of the struggles of 'after the war. Emily Flatley. A solid ending to a great series. Sean Dean. Awesome end to a great series!! I throughly enjoyed this series, however I am also glad I can now say I have finished it. A timeless Australian classic. Got me crying a bit at the end with all the reunion. This is listed as a children's book but theres some dark topics in here. A good series overall but it did drag on in some parts. Three star book but a five star series even if it could have been three books shorter. Surprisingly holds up from when I read it at 11! More reviews and ratings. Join the discussion.
