War of the worlds STINKS! NEVER read it unless you want to be bored out of your mind. It is so STUPID! There are these evil martians who come and try to destroy Earth, and it doesn't even tell you WHY they want to attack it. I didn't read the whole book (I was bored by the end of the first few pages, and even when i skipped ahead to the "war" part it was boring) but what I read was really stupid.
In the war part, all these people hide underneath the water (which is boiling, by the way) and practically kill themselves because they can't breathe. (I wonder why...) Then all these soldiers wearing white jackets (why white? and why do we care?) start shooting at the aliens. Then it goes into lots of gory details (bullets cracking on alien's faces and aliens stumbling around bleeding to death, while meanwhile, people underwater are strangling themselves) And THEN, this weird heat ray thingy burns all the houses and the city and the whole world. happy ending, dont you think?
And, then, all the aliens died of some weird disease. As if that matters. i mean, the whole world already is destroyed. I'll bet that if the guy didn't run out of pages, then he'd make all the people who weren't already boiled or strangled get the disease too and die.

Er... I've read this book,
Er... I've read this book, and none of the details you mentioned EVER happened (the aliens were incased in their big robot suits, don't you remember?). But you have the general part right. I too, thought that it was... er... boring, in lack of a better word. But you have to remember when the guy wrote it, early 1900's people thought differently then they do today and the writing was different! So don't be so bias! You didn't even read the whole book! I would give it a 4, the writting was awesome. Sorry, not liable if I hurt your feelings, just speaking my mind.
