![]() ![]() ![]() It's a real bonus that the reader is English and the story is set in England.Īll in all, I really enjoyed this book from start to finish. You can feel his fear and agitation, his joy and his confusion as his tale is told.Īdd to this excellent story, an excellent reader and you've got a hit. The main character meets and interects with various characters during his adventure and the relationships are brought out very well. Wells was born in Bromley, Kent, England in 1866 and educated at the University of London. The fact that you hear nearly the entire book in first person yet still get the feeling that the story is world spanning speaks volumes. Herbert George (or H.G.) Wells was an English author and political philosopher, most famous for his science-fiction novels with this prophetic depictions of the triumphs of technology as well as the horrors of 20th-century warfare. The world falling beneath the heel of alien oppression is told in this book in a very well thought out and detailed way. So it was with amusement that I found the version I knew so well from the songs was quite differnt from the book. I have read the book in the misty past, probably 20 years ago, I'm very familiar with the overall story however due to listening to the Musical version that was released. ![]()
