I have recentely been assigned this novel as and English project in school. If this grade did not make up 25% of my quarterly grade…I would not be writing this review now. If you have not begun to read this book now, DO NOT…may I repeat, DO NOT read this wretched book. As for my star rating, I would have given this book half a star if this was an option on the review page. Ciao

O.k this book was written at the begging 0f 1900′s but it’s wat to outdated. The characters are not fun to read they are very boring and not that much happends through out the whole book till the end. the ending is maybe the best part of the book becouse all the action happends. At times the book states some good questions like if there is life out there. the book was the first of it’s kind which is why it’s a classic.

i was really excited to read this book but ended up being really disappointed. i don’t understand what everyone else sees in it. it wasn’t very exciting at all and i really don’t think h.g. wells was that great of a writer. it was really a pain to have to get through (so it was good that it’s short) but was somewhat entertaining at times.

Some time in the past. There was a war that raged in two worlds. Villages and towns were destroyed by akueb foot soldiers. These people were either captured or killed. The lucky ones fled out of the area of fire or even some of them formed rebel armies. For thousands of years this war raged, people died. Also alien technology grew even more deadly until they devised a heat ray to destroy the remaining villages. A lot of people died at the hands of the aliens. Many of them were lucky to escape from the heat ray’s range. Those who were captured were never seen or heard of again. The survivors created legends about them.

This is not a novel. The people in it aren’t even characters; they’re archetypes, with no names (The Policeman, The Laborer, that sort of thing). Think of The Canterbury Tales; it’s like that. It’s more like a medieval morality play than an actual story.
And, frankly, the moral it’s trying to drive home is pretty dated by this point. Yes, it’s possible for even the greatest nation to be toppled when it hits an Out Of Context Problem. But that’s been driven home repeatedly over the past couple of centuries–most recently on 11 Sep. 2001. If you really want to read on this theme, pick some more recent author.
