I borrowed this book from the library. I read The Time Machine awhile back, and wanted to give this one a try. Ignore any movie version of the book that you may have ever seen. I actually deleted one from my dvr list so as not to get confused.This book was written a little over 100 years ago. London and other parts of England are invaded by martians from Mars. Wells believed that life existed on other planets and wrote his story as to what he thought could happen if these creatures landed here. Some of the wording was different then we use today, and I wished I had a map as to better visualize what was going on where.It did make me wonder, as it did his other book what Wells would think if he could visit our time period now, and all of the advancements that we have learned about science and outerspace. It also leads the reader to wonder if there could be life out there somewhere, or are we all alone.
