The War of the Worlds: 1 (Classics Illustrated) Paperback – Import, 1 September 2008

One of the best books on science fiction I have ever read. The language used evokes emotions and connects with the reader,which is a great quality about a book. And also the plot as well as the development of the scene is great.

The media could not be loaded.  The seminal masterpiece of alien invasion, The War of the Worlds (1898) conjures a terrifying, tentacled race of Martians who devastate the Earth and feed on their human victims while their voracious vegetation, the red weed, spreads over the ruined planet.In closing, the narrator explains that the aliens died because they were vulnerable to the countless microbes that inhabit the Earth, which "God in His wisdom" placed on the planet.

This book is excellent !

The War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel by English author H. G. Wells, first serialized in 1897. The War of the Worlds was one of the first and greatest works of science fiction ever to be written. Even long before man had learned to fly, H.G. Wells wrote this story of the Martian attack on England.The plot has been related to invasion literature of the time. The novel has been variously interpreted as a commentary on evolutionary theory, British imperialism, and generally Victorian superstitions, fears, and prejudices

Take time for you

The media could not be loaded.  Book arrived just now. No damage. Good condition. Print & paper quality is good. Can't wait to read it.

This book is great but only for the hardcore hg wells fans. I didn't like that there are a lot of old words in this book,which nobody uses and most people don't know the meaning of.The story is very boring and uninteresting. I only gave it 4 stars because it has a lot of science concepts in it and you can learn a few while reading

One of the best books I ever readThis should be added to the list of 100 books to read before you dieIf it is already on the list, cool

Ya tenía este libro en español, pero quise leerlo en su idioma original. La portada es preciosa y viene con un listón integrado para separar las páginas. Me gustó mucho.

A true classic of the genre. The details, the atmosphere and the overall style is worth the read. You can’t go wrong, I particularly liked this version/ print.

Preso per mio figlio,per compiti scolastici estivi, arrivato prima della data indicata, perfetto

Pas de critique.

O livro é o texto original em inglês do H. G. Wells. O filme de 2005 com Tom Cruise não faz justiça plena ao livro. Um conto interessante e em seu próprio tempo, impressionante... Hoje me dia soa estranho a descrição dos tripods, mas, o restante soa especialmente próximo do sci-fi que conhecemos... Para um conto escrito a pouco mais de 100 anos, e ainda cativante...
