trishagreenie 's review for:
The War of the Worlds
by H.G. Wells
Yeah, I fiiiinally finished this, but don't let the extremely slow pace of reading fool ya. I loved this book, but it took me a while to finish it because I was busy reading a fair few eBooks at the same time. But anyway, I did see the Tom Cruise movie when it came out, and I did enjoy it (though can't really remember much of it now), but recently when I mentioned I was reading the book, somebody commented that they'd like to see a movie released in current times that is set in the era the book was written in. i.e. NOT a modern-day take. And this was actually what I had thought now and then while reading the book.
There aren't many motor cars around, and most people ride bicycles. There aren't nuclear weapons that humans can bring to bear on the invading aliens, and so there are a lot of slaughters. I think a movie set in the era that was actually written about in the book could have such great potential to be awesome, so I agree with what that person said.
This is the first of H.G. Wells's works that I've read, and having read it I can say I definitely want to read more of his work.
I may add more to this review later when my brain is functioning as it should be!
