Tomorrow Series update

Having finished the second book in John Marsden’s Tomorrow Series (I wrote about the first one here, a few days ago), I can now definitively state that the series is by no means suitable for any children ever.  Things that were only hinted at in the first book, in terms of both violence (which is somewhat defensible in context) and sex (less so), become almost unbearably graphic in the second.  It will probably be like that for the rest of the series, too, so we’ll see about that, but in the meantime I’ll just reiterate my call for extreme caution on the part of anyone intrigued enough by the concept to pass the recommendation on.
