Anfang gut, sonst relativ langweilig. Hier und da gibts schlaue Gedankengänge, aber die machen das noch nicht zu einem guten Buch (aus heutiger Sicht).

A classic of the beginnings of science fiction, it was an interesting read because it's one of the firsts of its kind

This book was written in 1898, which is buts because it reads in a very similar way to modern alien invasion stories! Very solid writing and plot, nothing to complain about. I'll definitely pick up more H.G. Wells in the future.
