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.

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.
