Criticisms of the Tomorrow Series
editHey, mate you can use this for the critisims page. 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 generation of young and impressionable Australians. This, however is not the point.
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 carriers, 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!(Sorry, but its true). They have only Heavy-lift aircraft and small helicopters. How could these launch an offensive strike from hundreds of kilometers away?

Thank you

Cool, thanks for taking the time to comment on Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(fiction)#Final_adoption_as_a_guideline. I am glad you see how important this guideline will be, since it will determine the inclusion or exclusion of television character and television episodes. I thought your points were very relevant and intelligent. Thank you. Ikip (talk) 10:42, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
