War of the Worlds concluded

I think that the rest of this book was quite a bit better than the first half. The story really picked up,and I found myself enjoying the climax quite a bit. i also enjoyed it more after learning that the book was in fact based on the concept of manifest destiny. You see, Mr. Wells was really against the whole invading other less developed places and survival of the fittest. So the book is really an analogy, where the aliens are the invading english, and earth is a less developed nation.
