A decent YA book - fast paced and thrilling.
Yes, that was the review I entered for The Hunger Games - so perhaps I should compare. But first, I want to compare to Red Dawn - the 1984 original, not the silly remake.
In each, a group of teens deals with a foreign invasion. Red Dawn has a more plausible enemy (Russians) and a more reasonable target (middle America, near Colorado. Tomorrow has a compelling environment (Hell) and more teen relationships. Edge: Red Dawn
As to The Hunger Games - both are a series of books, primarily about teens and romance plays an important part. Both are quick and suspenseful, and each has plausibility problems. I've only read the first book of the Tomorrow series (and am currently watching the film), but I rate these about even - though the Hunger Games movie budget was much higher.
This book series runs to seven books, and a few more after that. Probably worth checking out a few more in the future -- after I rewatch Red Dawn. Wolverines!
