The War of the Worlds
this book was written by H.G. Wells
Most of this story takes place in the small towns that are in the countryside of England, the person that narrates the story is at his home in Woking, and the first chapters take place there.
The narrator is a philosopher, his writings get interrupted by the martians and he is one of the first to know.
The martians are a kind of species that are like an octopus that has a head that stands without a body and they eat blood from a living thing, they get killed by a bacteria from earth.
Artilleryman
he escaped from a martian's heat ray, so he develops a great sense of logic and caution, he insists in taking provisions everywhere with him to avoid danger circumstances
Curate; he is the representative of religion, he becomes senseless after seeing the destruction of his church.
brother; he is a medical student that his story is told by the narrator to show what happened in London.
SUMMARY
This book is about the invasion of Martians to earth, this story is narrated by the main character that is the philosopher.
It all starts when the sea level in Mars is going down so the Martians need to go to another planet that is earth, they are more developed than humans, first they start coming in cylinders between an interval of 24 hours these are like capsules that get to different places in England so then they get out and they start killing humans for food that is sucking blood so the Martians killed humans with a heat ray and it is very long until they meet a microorganism in human's blood that finally kills them.
EVALUATION
this book was difficult for me to understand, it was too long for my opinion and finally I never finished it, I chosed this book because in Spanish we read a lot of them but short and easier to understand so I liked very much the science fiction so that's why I chosed this book.
I would never recommend this book to people of my age or below to read this because it is very complicated unless you love reading ( not my case )
