A thought-provoking and immersive read.
I can see why this book is so successful and classified as a classic, albeit not my typical style, it is something I believe everybody should give a go, and was something I did enjoy reading and glad about having given a go.
Alien invasions, realistic perspectives, and horror inducing scenes all wrapped up within a short read. It's definitely worth picking up if you're into intellectual reads that don't require too much thinking.
