apechild 's review for:
War of the Worlds
by H.G. Wells
My 2006 bookcrossing review:
I've marked this as science fiction, but I don't think anyone should let that put them off reading it. It is very well written and a great read. It's also very different to that Tom Cruise film... Hollywood mangles another book.
This one is set in the UK in the late 1800s (and first published in 1898!)- making it something of a marker in the history of writing and science fiction, I think. The action plays out in the home counties and London and how the alien invaders affect the lives of people. Imagining this scenario is really quite frightening.
