The First H.G. Wells Omnibus: The Invisible Man/War of the Worlds/The Island of Dr Moreau by H.G. Wells
4.0
This was a phenomenal exploration of an alien invasion. The Martians are brilliantly horrific and interesting, and the book brings to light questions most people don't ask when they think of humans being dominated by another race. The ending is beautifully sculpted, with sufficient foreshadowing. I also loved the point of view, with the coupling of the narrator in his tale and in his present as he tells it. Still think 'The Time Machine' is my favourite Wells novel thus far, but this was still a brilliant book that I really enjoyed.
