Summary: The Other Side of Dawn
Review: I first discovered this series at 23 when I was living in England, and when I returned to Canada I ended up getting the final two volumes delivered from Australia because I could not wait to read the conclusion. Several reviewers on this site are disappointed with the ending, but I think it would have been highly unrealistic to have a simplistic, upbeat ending to a war saga. Ellie and her friends do get damaged by their experiences and I was relieved to see that acknowledged. The series is one of the most compelling I've ever read. While the themes do get more mature and the final volume is far more focused on just one character, I found it a satisfying conclusion to a captivating epic. As a genre label, Young Adult does not have to mean simplistic!

Summary: Best book ever
Review: I have never been so captivated by a series of books as I have with the Tomorrow series. I ordered this book from Australia months ago so I could get to the end. It is not necessarily the way I wanted the series to end, but it makes more sense than everything turning out perfectly fine. I will miss the brave characters in these books and will most certainly have to read all 7 again at some point.

Summary: Sad that it's over!
Review: I have truly enjoyed reading this series. It has been thought provoking and as realistic as fiction can be. But I did not feel the same way about this book. It is not of the same quality as the previous books. Once Ellie blows up the train to novel goes down hill. Mr. Marsden tries to fill space with unnecessary verbiage. This book is a disappointment to me after the outstanding quality of the others in this series.

Summary: Disapointed with the end
Review: I waited 5 months for The Other Side of Dawn to come out in the US so I could finish the series, and sadly I was somewhat disappointed.
While Marsden tied up all his loose ends, I still yearned for more at the end of the book. Plainly, I was disapointed. And while I admit the ending was realistic (well, as realistic as you can get with these series), I guess I had been secretly hoping for the prefect ending: everyone staying buddies and life returning to normal, but that, of course, didn't happen.
Dispite my complaints, I did enjoy the book and recommend it to anyone considering the series. I'm sad to see the series end, but I guess it had to eventually right?

Summary: Sad that it's over!
Review: I was absolutely breathless with excitement when this book finally arrived. I tried to make it last, but at the same time was so caught up in it that I finally just had to stay up late reading it. Any Tomorrow When... fan must read this book immediately!
As much as I loved it and found it thrilling and exciting, the absence of Homer, Lee, Kevin, and Fi for so much of the book was disappointing. I desperately wanted to know what they were doing.Despite the epilogue, I was left wanting to know more. Surely they couldn't just go back to their lives like nothing happened? And why didn't Ellie's parents want to know more about her experiences? And even though, as another reviewer said, it was probably realistic, I can't handle the thought of the group of them not being close knit for the rest of their lives.
So, as much as I really enjoyed the book, I am left feeling kind of disappointed, whether it's because the series is over or because I feel so badly for the characters, or because I think the epilogue was kind of lame, I'm just not sure.

Summary: A great end to a fantastic series!
Review: The resolution of this thrilling series ranks among the best of the Tomorrow books. Its fast-paced action and excitement will grab you around the neck and hold you there from start to finish. The ending is satisfying and leaves nothing to be desired - not even from hard-core fans. For those who are new to Marsden's books, I recommend reading the rest of the series before this one - but it is well worth the wait.

Summary: GREAT BOOK, I can't believe it's over
Review: This was a great book and the epilogue didn't really give enough. You felt like the characters were real and you wanted to know what happens to them after. It was a realistc ending though. War brings a lot of pain. This book will be a favorite for years to come. It should be one of the book that we read in school and talk about. This series showed that the bond of friendship is the strongest there is.
