I’d like to point out that the post title is pretty confusing for people who aren’t familiar with the novel. I read the “Tomorrow” part of the title as a date reference rather than part of the novel’s name. You might want to add some quotation marks.
Me, reading that title:
“There’s gonna be a war tomorrow, and an author’s gonna die? We must stop this!”
Never read the novel, but I saw the film. It was okay, sort of an Australian Red Dawn. My only issue with it is that it had a terrible scene jammed into it where a character tells another one reading a different dystopian book that the novel is generally better than the movie.
Here’s the incredibly ham-fisted dialogue.
Ellie Linton: Good book?
Corrie Mackenzie: Better than the movie.
Ellie Linton: Yeah, books usually are.I get it. Read the novel after watching the film even if I didn’t like the film. You don’t have to tell it to me in the movie.
Like I said, it wasn’t bad otherwise.
I saw the movie. I recall enjoying it, but not being amazed. The biggest disappointment was that they never adapted anything after book 1. If you enjoyed the movie, I highly recommend the books.
Yeah, it was entertaining enough but it was clearly just a part 1 movie. I’m not really into YA literature, but I told my wife, who loves it, to check out the series after I saw the movie. I should ask her if she ever did.
An extremely popular YA author here in Australia, and I’ve heard his books, especially the Tomorrow Series, are popular elsewhere. For anyone with teens who haven’t read it (or anyone wanting a really good bit of quite serious fiction that doesn’t mind the fact that it’s YA), I highly recommend it.
