A review by kentexmom
The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells

4.0

Alien invasion, urban panic, unknown technologies, insanity, and very thin hopes of human victory. I liked it much more than I expected to. I love The Time Machine, and I felt I owed it to myself to also read The War of the Worlds. I have seen one of the movies, though. And I knew that, while much of the movie was made up for modern audiences, the lame ending was by the book. And that ending ruined the movie. It doesn't ruin the book, though. Maybe because of the setting or because the action isn't as intense as the movie or because I knew what was coming.
