About this audiobook
H.G. Wells' novel, "The War of the Worlds," made people start to look at the sky in a whole new way—from over their shoulders. Written in a journalistic style, blending fantastic events with real-life locations and actual science of its day, Wells' novel chronicles the sudden Martian invasion of our planet Earth. "The War of the Worlds," and its realistic approach, launched a new, chilling genre of fiction and went on to inspire numerous variations and adaptations for radio, television, comics and film.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's an interesting Martian invasion, especially since it's far removed from the current Hollywood aliens we're used to. I liked the initial and final explanation, It is worth it for the original characterization of the Martians and the first reactions to the invasion, in conclusion very entertaining and waiting for the long-awaited alien invasion

Narrated by Rebecca Dittman, literally i loved his voice. I love to hear story about earth and other planet and possibility of life on other planet!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The War of the Worlds goes beyond the of-the-time popular military invasion fiction, which took away the standard protagonist/antagonist arc of single characters and popped whole countries or tribes in their place, and brings down to Earth a whole new enemy at a time when science fiction did not exist and science itself was oft thought of as fiction.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The novel is very good, I love the alien genre and this is the best sounding book I have ever heard. It would be interesting if there was a movie about this book.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5H.G Wells is trying to make a point about British Imperialism through his book. His goal is to show people how England's colonies might feel by having the peaceful English countryside razed and innocent people slaughtered and the peoples inability to fight back against an immense foreign power. The normality the Narrator feels with all of the violence holds a parallel to the violence used in colonies to keep the people under control, and how it became a common occurrence

Thanks to author These books are amazing but I am very excited to read them. One of the best things you have done is to give these books away during the tax virus and we are all encouraged to read these books because we are at home. Thank you so much for giving us the books. And we need more books like this.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved it,,,,, I always loved the book,,, absolutely thrilled
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I acknowledge that I am one of the few people who actually enjoyed the recent "War of the Worlds" movie. The reason for this has to do more with the original book than Tom Cruise or Steven Speilburg's tendency to wittle everything, including alien attacks, down to simple family problems. In a lot of ways, "War of the Worlds" (2006) was a close to dead-on adaptation of the original Victorian novel.
