Review week one

Review week one

I have begun reading the popular first instalment of John Marsden's popular series Tomorrow When the War Began. The book takes place in Australia a very short period of time before an attack on Australia by an anonymous force. We learn that the Narrator is explaining the events post-happening. The book initially gives the reader a hard time to get their head around the many main characters in the novel. Many names are thrown around in the orientation so it can be a brain teaser to work out who's who. Once you understand what's happening you should come to the conclusion that these names belong to a group of older students that are going on a camping trip.  For the next period of time you will eventually learn the personalities and personas that each character is gifted with. It leaves a small sense of total intrigue to be desired. Well signing of on that note please keep reading the later review  installments.
