Summary: Strongest in the series
Review: "A Killing Frost" is easily the strongest literary piece of Marsden's Tomorrow series. This third piece of the puzzle is emotional and extravagant and the resolution readers seek in literature is finally found.

The series builds up to the content of this book. The story climaxes on different levels several times. The complex plot is easy to grasp and carries the reader along. One can be caught in Ellie's emotional struggles and relationships one moment and find himself fighting along physically the next. Marsden continues to use his words to describe fear and courage in a realistic and amazing manner.

The thing that makes "The Killing Frost" stand above the other books in the series is that it can easily be viewed as a part of the series, but also manages to stand as a whole by itself. There is a complete story told in one book. It benefits readers who are unfamiliar with the series by concentrating on details of the present as well as informing the reader of the charachters' past experiences. For those who are familiar with the series, such attention to past events will bring back the memories and emotions of the previous two books.

Summary: It's fantastic
Review: 'The Killing frost'(Third Day the Frost) is a great book and I'd definately recommend it to everyone. But don't forget to read 'Tommorow When the War Began' and 'The Dead of The Night' first. They're just as good.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A Thrilling Frost
Review: A Thrilling Frost

By the time a reader has gotten to this addition in the series it is most likely they have been captivated by the first two novels in the series, Tomorrow when the War Began and The Dead of Night and have also become used to the Aussie slang terms. The Author John Marsden immediately gives the impression that this is merely another Adventure story. But the characters are all involve in a love life of their own, which at times, evolves into much more intimate scenes.
These teenagers living in the Australian town of Wirrawee are just an average group of kids each with their own flaws such as everyone else in the world. The first of this group is Ellie the main character who tends to be very bossy and likes to be in control of the way things go. Robyn is all about winning but is also very timid. Lee is a musician whom Ellie has become infatuated with. Fi is a timid, elegant person but shows signs of extreme bravery when trouble plagues she and her friends. Corrie is Ellie's absolute best friend and Kevin is her boyfriend. This group is out camping in the "bush" (an Australian word for uncleared wilderness) while the city of Wirrawee is celebrating Commemoration Day. But when they return they find friends and relatives gone and their homes ransacked or destroyed by a foreign invading country. Because the group was off camping in the wilderness region known as "Hell" they were not captured. Deciding that they needed to try and save their families, they stay in this unknown camp spot where only a rumored "ex-murderer" has ever been. Homer is the final member of the original group. Known as a class clown, he begins to change dramatically because of the invasion into a more tactful and wise person. As they establish themselves there they begin to win small battles against the enemy leading up to the third book in the five book series, A Killing Frost. As the story begins there is a short recap of the events in the second book such as Chris, one of their own whom earlier on was found in his own house hiding but taken in by the group. He began to drink heavily and soon, got himself killed in a car crash. Ellie's best friend Corrie has been shot in the back and horribly wounded forcing Kevin to bring her into the enemies' hospital. Their numbers now diminishing, their chances of winning the war for their country have slimmed drastically. The group has now decided to hit the enemy where it will hurt the most...
As the story develops, Ellie must overcome obstacles thrown in her face and overcome the doubts of her own mind. With the help of her friends, she realizes they are the countries last hope for freedom. This is a thrilling tale of self realization and adventure. Although some phrases in the book are overused like "We were going into Hell" referring to the campsite but also trying too get across the point that this place was miserable. But a Killing Frost fully lives up to its reputation from the first two novels and surely will compel anyone to read the final two novels in the series.

Summary: It used to be called 'The third day, the frost'
Review: I don't why they changed it (the name) but I still love the book...especially when they blow up the oil tanker.

My favourite in this series would have to be 'The Night is for Hunting' but this one was pretty good too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: These books are the absolute best
Review: I have read every single one of John Marsden's books, and all of them are awesome. I first started Tomarrow, When The War Began 3 years ago when I was 14, now that I am 17 I understand the books better and can relate to the characters more. I reccomend these books to all teenagers who need something to bring them back to life.
