Summary: Engrossing Adventure
Review: My 15-year-old son and I have been reading Marsden's series in tandem. He is now on the fourth book, having passed me at the end of the third one (SOMEONE has to go to work, after all). While I prefer Tolkien, and my son prefers Robert Jordan, we were both nevertheless engrossed with Marsden's story and characters. This is a very good "young adult" series that adults can enjoy as well. This volume (The Third Day, the Frost) returns to the form of the first book, after just a bit of a let-down in book two.

Summary: A Haunting Thriller About How War Changes People
Review: Third in John Marsden's "Tomorrow" series, this book details what happens to Ellie and her friends (and fellow soldiers), as they continue to sabotage the enemy. This book is grimly realistic, as well as incredibly exciting, and the characters are very, very believable, even to the fallout and boredom. My only complaint is that only the first four or five have been released in the United States. A very good, exciting story.

Summary: A killing Frost
Review: This book continues the story begun in Tomorrow When the War began and the Dead of Night. Ellie and a group of teens launch guerilla attacks against the enemy that has taken over and is colonizing Australia. This is an outstanding book, recommended for people 12 years old and up, it is great recreational reading.My attention was captured and held from page 1 of this riveting adventure story, although, I do not condon violence, however, it is an essential part to this war story and Ellie the narrator of the story handles it from a teenage perspective and with alot of sensitivity. Even though this book is the third of a series, it stands alone.

Summary: Amazing!
Review: This book is absolutely unputdownable! It has a huge amount of adrenalin and you really ought to check your heart rate as you read! I've read all of John Marsden's books except the new one which is coming out soon. They have got to be in the top five list of my favourite books. Why is this book called "A Killing Frost" in the U.S? We know it as "The Third Day, The Frost" in New Zealand and Australia. Thanks John Marsden for writing this brilliant series of books.

Summary: Great Thriller, Like No Other
Review: This book is one of my favorite books that I've read. It is the last book of a series, and after reading this one I plan on reading the others. The story was about a girl named Ellie and her friends who try to help their country when it goes into war, they try to attack the enemy without getting caught. Every time they get close to getting caught, I would get Goosebumps! The author filled the books with tons of great, vivid details. " To come to Cobbler's Bay during wartime and find ugly growths all over it and great monstrous ships sitting in its innocent water, like big metal leeches, made me both angry and unhappy." (Page 83) I had no trouble picturing everything in my head. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read thrilling and capturing books. When you start reading it, you never want to put it down. The characters that the author created were very realistic with their own personalities that make them sound even more real. I gave this book 5 stars!

Summary: Thought Provocing
Review: This book would be the one to reveal the most about each of the characters. You can truly feel their hopes and dreams changing as they come to terms with the way that their world has changed. The way that they measure up their actions, trying to determine the good and the evil. YOu understand their hatred and feel to the way that they are so passionate about what they beleive in. As Ellie says, "You have to beleive in something". She learns this from other selflessness, and the way that the six interact. By the end of A killing frost, i was in tears. You will be to.
