A review by karenavila85
The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells

1.0

Yes, I know. My one star is like "What the heck? This is one of the greatest books ever written. What is wrong with you?!?." Hate to say it but the movie with Tom Cruise based on this novel was more thrilling and exciting than this book ever was through its two hundred pages. Did not like how it was broken down into two parts and the way the "narrator" told the story. I found his story boring but maybe it was the author's writing style that made this problem for me. It had some interesting parts, mostly how the Martians build the machines and attacked the people. However, the story in between how the narrator (who remains nameless throughout the novel)told of his travel and describe every detail of the attack failed miserably to keep me engaged and entertained.
