Work InformationIllustrated Classics: The War of the Worlds by Malvina G. Vogel
   None No current Talk conversations about this book. I much preferred The Time Machine over War of the Worlds. (  ) VhartPowers | Dec 27, 2018 |  Originally written in 1897 by HG Wells, then adapted by Malvina Vogel and illustrated by Brendan Lynch in the 1980s this 'Great Illustrated Classics' edition of 'The War of the Worlds' is most definitely geared towards a younger audience. This being said, it is however still an enjoyable & quick read. Brendan Lynch's 1983 illustrations now also add a rather humourous edge to the tale in that the aliens in the story somewhat resemble Rovio Entertainment's Angry Birds. Worth a look for a light science fiction end of the world read, but probably best to pick up the original (and not the Great Illustrated Classics edition) unless buying for a child/youth. (  ) HenriMoreaux | Apr 19, 2014 | Worth reading, because it's a different view of world destruction. FieryNight | Aug 26, 2006 | no reviews | add a review
