The War of the Worlds
by H.G. Wells
Wells is an author I've come to enjoy. Yet, this one fell a bit short for me. I couldn't get attached to the main character or any others. The story felt mechanical. Of course, it being action-driven is understandable only slightly, for me. I really love getting invested with characters. It gets me further invested and is a good percentage to making the book that much better.
I remember my mom telling me about the radio broadcast of this book and how several listeners grew so afraid that there was a mass hysteria and families went into hiding, thinking there was an actual invasion happening. In all honesty, the book really reads like a play-by-play so I get it.
