the book is fucking boring. the concept of how the martians look and work is really cool, but most of the book is just people running. reading the book made me hate all the adaptations of it even more, there shouldnt be so many. stop making war of the worlds stuff its boring. dr moreau is where its at, food of the gods or the time machine would be better too. this works as a movie you forget about after you see it and thats it. its interesting but i dont get the hype. the best aspect was the fact david tennant was narrating it, love him. i wouldnt have been born without his existence. my parents both like him. also helped picturing the main character as him, i previously thought of him as tom cruise because of that one movie. ive seen the other movies but i love tom cruise so think of him, but he does not fit the book. david tennant does, if i hadnt had his assistance i would not have finished this. fuck you hg wells, this was boring as. never ever remake this unless its a movie directed by Richard Stanley. he is hg wells reincarnated. sad i cant put a trigger warning for 'boring' in the warnings on here. helped me fall asleep at least.

Probably very impressive for its time, but nothing special now. The story meanders and sometimes manages to be boring (which is almost an achievement for a book so short). Over all, I thought it was okay although the blatant sexism did take me out of the story many times over.
