War of the Worlds

To be honest, I'm quite disappointed with the legendary HG. Well's literary masterpiece that is War of the Worlds. The word choice and description, while sometimes creative is often insubstantial. but more importantly, the author seems to disregard the old writing rule of show don't tell. It seems like mr. Wells only tells this story through bland, straightforward statements. MAybe it will get better, but as of now, I am again quite disappointed.
