j_rowley 's review for:
The War of the Worlds
by H.G. Wells
I did enjoy the story, but my problem with it was I was unfamiliar with the countryside and some of the place names so I had no idea of how extensive the takeover was or whether fleeing from the martians would be difficult. England is small. How long could it take you to get to the coast? I know this was before cars were prevalent, but the communication had to be better.
So understanding the terror when the author described what was happening was real enough, but the urgency sometimes lacked due to so much depending on you knowing the surroundings.
Was interesting to see that it was nothing the humans did that exterminated the martians.
