I have a Heritage Press 1964 copy of The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, illustrated by Joe Mugnaini. The Sandglass mentioned that JM has done 3 previous HP books. Can anyone tell me which are they? Or any subsequent ones?

I tend to agree with about Wells. I find him a bit dry but I sometimes I reckon that it works in his favour. War of the Worlds I felt was quite nicely understated :)

The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells

I finished Dr Moreau last week, Carolyn, and definitely agree with you. I enjoyed this one quite a bit more than Wells's The War of the Worlds which I had read earlier this year. It was fast-paced, exciting and inventive. Like you, I also enjoyed debating in my mind the moral issues that the play ...

80- The day of the triffids John Wyndham was supposedly influenced by The war of the worlds so I was interested in reading these two books one after the other. I have to admit I didn't really see a lot of similarities. Rather, the story reminded me strongly of Blindness by Jose Saramago ...

girlunderglass, thanks for the tip on War of the Worlds --I'll go look for your review.

I also read The War of the Worlds last month and, while I did feel that Wells was ahead of his time with the science/aliens/machines stuff, I never really connected to the main characters well enough.

>203 Thanks, Smiler! In reality I couldn't have planned The War of the Worlds better because I'm reading about the Victorian age for an exam and so everything makes much more sense. Perhaps normally I wouldn't be so observant as to notice every time an author mocks his own era and his ...
