“True classic. H. G. Wells rocks!!!”
“It is really interesting”
“For my reading class, I had to read a classic book and I chose this. It ended up being REALLY good. Then I decided to watch the movie and compare. The movie actually didn't do that bad. It even paraphrased some of the lines.”
“this book is about the movie and how aliens are attacking the earth and killing all the people. they land from a spacecraft and cannot move untill they get used to the gravity. the people finally destroy them at the end of the book and im not gonna ruin the ending 4 u”

“I first read WOTW many years ago when I was a youngster, and enjoyed it for the adventure, but re-reading it more recently (along with several other classic Wells SF novels) was most enlightening. I had discovered that the book was inspired by the genocide of the Tasmanian aborigines (although they were hunted down and mercilessly killed, there are still plenty of people in the state who identify as aboriginal). Wells wanted to turn the tables and put the British Empire, seen (by themselves) as the pinnacle of human culture at the time, into the place of the "primitives" being hunted and exploited. As an Australian, this carries powerful resonances for me, given the "sorry" debate, and more recent events affecting aboriginal Australia.”
“This is my favorite book. I read it all in one night from about from about 10pm to 6 am. This is the only book that has ever actually scared me. Simply an amazing book.”
