I didn't enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. I liked the movie better. I had a hard time getting into it. I hate how the aliens come and begin killing people at random with their Heat Ray. I loved the way the story followed the professor and how we saw everything through his viewpoint. I like the plot idea with aliens coming and humans having to figure out how to make them leave and how we gain a little information from them. Overall I would rate this book 3 stars.

I’m quite
disappointed with this book, I am sure when it was written it was thrilling but the second half did nothing to warrant any fear from me and the first even less so. I had to laugh at the quote “the Martians understood doors!”, Simply because it’s hilarious to think they’ve invaded an entire planet only to struggle with a little latch. Another I really enjoyed but for other reasons goes as follows “the fear and empire of man had passed away”.
