John Marsden does this series so well; I read it when I was a kid, but now I think i enjoy it even more. I love listening to it on talking book as well, just so easy and fun, bring on the next installment please. :)While I Live is probably what many bloggers might call old news, but after only just having read this first book in the Ellie Linton chronicles I thought Id give a review a go. Interesting and well written, it offers an insight into something most authors dont bother to explore: after the war. Though I wouldnt say I was captivated mind and soul, it was definitely a good way to pass a few hours when I was bored.The basic plot picks up a few months after the war has ended, and Australia has come
After having read the 'Tommorow When The War' began series my hopes were high for this book. A sort of follow on series, the book focuses more on the life issues of Ellie Linton and less action with less things blowing up which can be good or bad depending on your point of veiw.A series a lot of people loved because of its unique plot and storyline, the Tommorow When The War Began series was a hit. This follow on series is surprisingly different than the original series. I had hoped for another
Ellie and her family are trying to recover from a Marsden-invented war that ravaged Australia and New Zealand, resulting in an uneasy peace and half of Australia in the hands of foreign invaders. Ellie's family lives on a ranch near the recently constructed border. She was an active member of the Australian resistance force during the war and is looking forward to life returning to some semblance of normalcy. That lasts all of maybe 2 pages. The book opens with a renegade band of invaders
This is SO close to being a five!!!!! 4.99999999999999999 I read all of Marsden's Tomorrow series practically in one gulp. Teenagers in Australia go bush for a weekend and when they come home, their families are gone. In fact, everyone is gone. They discover that another country has invaded, "needing" the space for its overpopulation, and the war begins. Ellie and her friends are outside the grid and no one on the other side knows they're alive. As the book and the series move along, the friends
You know, I really liked the Tomorrow Series. I enjoyed Ellie and her friends journeys throughout the war and the amount of growth and pain the characters endured that ultimately led to them basically becoming Guerrilla warriors. However, after I finished the final book, I felt like more needed to be said- I felt as though I needed to know how Ellie and everyone else was going after the war.Which brings me to the first installation of the Ellie Chronicles- While I Live!(view spoiler)[
I guess because this is a companion series I went in with pretty low expectations. It seemed like that because this is set AFTER the war it wouldnt be very action packed or exciting. Well, I stand corrected. This was just as enjoyable as the original series, full of action and more. Hell, even the running of the farm stuff was incredibly interesting. It leaves you wanting more as well.
