Tomorrow When the War Began (1993) By John Marsden is without question the worst piece of fiction I have ever had the unfortunate chance of reading. The storyline is nonsensical and the plot is scripted like an episode of McLeod’s Daughters. 
The book would be “frighteningly real” as is stated on the front cover, but the problem is, this is Earth. I may yet write to Mr. Marsden asking why he has seen fit to poison a gen{{Boxboxtop|UserBoxes}}

This is the user page of '''Kevin Godfrey'''. Click [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Kevin1243&action=edit&section=new/ here] to start a new conversation of young and impressionable Australians. The events that take place in the novel are impossible for many reasons:

How could a "non-specific" country invade Australia in a week? There would need to be a MASSIVE supply chain already in place, and an impossibly large number of men and recourses committed to the task. Training schedules would have to be stepped up, vehicles put in for maintence, and someone would notice the preparation for a full scale invasion, as things like that NEVER go unnoticed.

Secondly, for the "non-specific" country to have aircraft and aerial capabilities they would need to have a Fleet of Aircraft carrier, which are both huge, expensive, and extremely powerful, how could someone not notice something like that moving at a country? Who doesn’t have radar? Not even the Eskimos!

Also in the later books, the New Zealand Aircraft come to Australians aid. HOW? Their air force is a man with a rake! They have only 
Heavy-lift aircraft and small helicopters how could these launch an offensive strike from hundreds of kilometers away?

The most valid piece of evidence against this book is the existence of the  ANZUS treaty which '''ensures''' the United States Defense force comes to our aid in the event of an invasion/conflict.

At the moment I'm not really focusing on any particular area. I spend some time every day on [[WP:RCP|RC Patrol]], or just pick something interesting from the [[Community Portal]] to fix up. I try and vote regularly on [[Articles for deletion|AfD's]], when time permits.
