Loading... Burning for Revenge (1997)by John Marsden
None. I feel that this is the best book in the Tomorrow series so far. It has so much action and intensity, yet it doesn't fail to deliver on the emotional side either. I'm glad to see the author explore not only the emotional effects of war on our protagonists, but also on others who are not directly involved in the fighting. A very action packed and thought provoking novel. Loved it and can't wait to read book six! (  ) ABShepherd | May 15, 2013 |  My blog post about this book is at this link. (  ) SuziQoregon | Mar 31, 2013 | Georges_T._Dodds | Mar 30, 2013 | John Marsden's Tomorrow series is one of the best Australian young adult series ever written. It follows the experiences of a group of teenagers who go camping in a serene clearing called 'Hell' and return to find their homeland invaded, their beloved pets dead and their families held prisoner at the local showground. After the initial shock and fear, they decide that it wouldn't do just to sit tight and hope for the best - better to fight. With realistic action and the conflicting emotions that come from war (at one point Ellie wonders how many people it is OK to kill just to keep herself alive), this series will have you thinking about what you would do if you were in their shoes. The Tomorrow series is neither pro or anti war. It simply tells what happens and leaves the reader to judge. If you don't read this series you are missing out on something great. ( ) seldombites | Sep 9, 2010 | These are very enjoyable reads about six teens in Australia who are camping when their country is invaded. Circumstances force them to become partisans. Marsden writes with good suspense, action and leaving you looking forward to the next volume. My two main complaints are: we never really find out who invaded Australia and the group never accumulates although they have numerous clashes with th enemy.
