War of the Worlds Audiobook

" I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. It had a strong plot, was engaging and made the reader think. "

" Much darker than I was expecting it to be. I'm also surprised that I lived as long as I did not only without reading it, but also with no one SPOILING THE ENDING. In hindsight I can see the foreshadowing, but I never had any inkling how the book would end. Definitely better this way. "

" I read this book in 7th grade, and I still remember the way I though of the tripod and the rows or British houses destroyed in the battle. A true classic that I plan on rereading soon! "

" Interesting. I had never read it. I could have used more description of the Martians though. "

" The writing was great, but I kept tuning out. I think this is probably because I/everyone knows the story back-to-front before they even start reading, but even so, I kept losing interest (blame Hollywood? Orson Welles?). I loved plenty of it, but not enough for 4 or 5 stars. Definitely want to read more of Wells though, specifically the books that have unknown endings. "

" I wasn't expecting to enjoy this but I did! "

" Interesting story that has aged quite well. Gives a thought-provoking perspective on the significance of man in the vast expanse of space. "

" I love this book now I have to read more of H.G.Wells books. "

" I love these kind of end of the world kind of books. "

" It's a classic, what else is there to say! "

" I enjoyed the book. The introduction by Orson Card is an eye opener and should be read. I probably gave a higher rating just for the introduction. "

" I read this as a child, I was far too young to appreciate it (according to my teacher). I loved it... well written, scary, deep and enlightening. It's set in the Surrey countryside where I grew up, so it has an even great resonance with me. "

" Holds up exceptionally well for being more than a century old. "

" Being written in a way that science fiction is no longer written today I admit made this kind of hard to read and keep up with. There are some scenes that are just downright boring, but if you can keep up with the story it is absolutely fascinating and thrilling all at the same time. "

" Great book i dont know if i have read a book like this in years "

" Fascinating when you think it was written over a hundred years ago! "

" Un classico ancora splendidamente leggibile. "

" This book was ok.Not the best you know. "

" Lover the story, hated the writing style "

" The martians are coming, the martians are coming. Being one of the first native english books I've read this summer it went down like a cool glass of water. However the story is nothing but refreshing its about destruction and death in and around London following an invasion of Martians. "

" It took a bit to get into the turn of the (last) century flavor, but once I did, an thoroughly enjoyable read. "

" quite a goodbook <br/>opens your mind about other life... "

" Good story. I certainly would help to have a better knowledge of England's geography and areas of London to better visualize where things were happening. Much better than the movie <br/><br/>After reading some of the biographical info on HG Wells, I was a little disturbed by his genocidal views "

" Lagged a little in the middle, but still a fantastic read! "

" Another great read. I have read this book many times and I discover something new in the story every time. "

" Smashing Ideas' iPad edition. Beats the 1953 and 2005 movies. "

" Reading this one for the fourth of fifth time now. It is a classic that has helped in defining the genre. "

" At first it seemed rather thin(both in character and content), but when you think about it in terms of when it was published, you realise it is and probably was the shit. "

" If there had been an alien invasion in Victorian England, this is how it would have gone. "

" This edition with illustrations by Edward Gorey is THE edition to get if you can find it. The illustrations provided by Gorey really do justice to the imagery presented in the story, which is itself a bonafide sci-fi classic. Just wish I'd been around for the radio broadcasts... "

" I have read this book multiple times throughout my life and just thoroughly enjoy it. If you haven't read it yet... What's wrong with you! "

" An interesting read though perhaps Wells' vision of the future is somewhat dated as our society moves farther away from the manufacturing of the Industrial age and more to the service and computers of the Information Age. "

" Enjoyed this one alot, going to have the watch the movie too. "

" Love the constant allegory of the destruction that mankind brought about on itself, and the terrible wrath that it played out on us through the ages. "

" The most unique view into mankind's history I've ever read. "

" I am reading it, I am enjoying it, this is my first HG Wells read. The language is antiquated, it might bother some, but it is interesting enough that I have downloaded War of the Worlds to also read. "

" A fast but interesting read "

" Where would Sci-Fi be without this book! "

" I read and honestly I was not able to visualise all that he wrote whatever i was able to for that I am happy that i read this one "

" Good, but a little too wordy... still good though! "

" I liked the anthropological tone of the narrator describing the future races. It's definitely a product of the 1800's and was very similar to the ethnologies of the time. "

" Finally got around to this one, and very glad I did. Prompted immediate acquisition of additional works by Wells, I so thoroughly enjoyed it. Fast read. "
