dilpickle32 's review for:

The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
3.0

Watched the Tom Cruise movie and liked the concept...figured I’d read the book it was based upon. I like that the book focused less on defeating the aliens in a climatic final battle and rather the struggle of a few individuals, particularly the I suppose mental breakdown of one of the protagonist’s companions during such an ordeal as an alien invasion. The vocabulary felt a bit outdated which isn’t surprising considering when it was written but it was also refreshing.
