Two and a half. I didn't like this as well as _The Time Machine_. The writing and descriptions are well-done, but there is a period during which the descriptions of the invasion get a little repetitive. The book wraps up nicely and redeems itself by the end.
Frequently, I found myself comparing Martian colonisation and European colonisation. However, the final chapter introduces the idea that humans, too, may someday colonise other planets...

Finalmente terminé de leerlo. Al principio cuesta un poco por la forma del relato, pero conforme avanzan las peripecias del protagonista, va tomando una velocidad vertiginosa la lectura. Me sorprendió mucho el recurso de no ponerle nombre al protagonista, que sólo fuera el narrador de los acontecimientos, desde la llegada de los marcianos hasta su declive. Creo que por ahí oculta un par de críticas a la sociedad de aquel entonces (considerando que es un libro de 1898) pero probablemente lo pasé por alto porque yo sólo estuve aquí por los marcianos ahahhahaha. Las cuatro estrellas sólo son por el final, me quedó esa misma sensación que con Frankenstein, sin embargo me sacó una lagrimita de felicidad.
