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: The Ending Is So Horriable!
Review: IN the series you read it and you want Ellie and Lee to be together forever...I think the ending should be changed... Other then that fact, it was a great book. And a great series by a really great author.

Summary: Lives up to his promises
Review: The Other Side of Dawn lives up to the action, tension and reality of the best of the Tomorrow series. The last days of the war are at hand, and Ellie's luck is running out. I won't give anything away, but it's an emotional ride. I put it down at around 2 am hoping to make it last, tried to sleep for a couple of hours, and had to get up and read to the finish. (I am one of the lucky Australians who could grab it last year in its all-black limited edition cover: just the number 7 on the spine and a string of barbed-wire. It kinda did a Harry Potter - everyone knew what it was even with the blank black cover.)
