oh man I love that guy. He's such a genious! anyone else enjoy HG Wells books? The Island of Dr. Moreau was so messed up but very intelligent if you think about it.

The only books by him that I have read are War of the Worlds and . The Invisible Man. I loved both of them a great deal and I want to read more books by him.

In War of the Worlds my favorite scene was where the Thunderchild destroyed the attacking martians to save the boat of refugees. While they were destroyed at least they took out several of those machines with them and saved the fleeing humans.

Hmm......is The Time Machine by him as well? If it is then that means that I have actually read three books by H. G. Wells.

indeed it is an HG Wells book! I don't even know how I got into him, but when I did, I found him to be amazing! :D

I never read War of the Worlds, but when my father was stationed in Spain for 5 years, there were only two television shows we could watch that were in English....The Love Boat, and Gilligan's Island. An hour of television a day was all we got and we really had no choice in the selection.

Sundays we would sit around the table eating dinner, and listen to the radio. They always had a story on at that time. One Sunday night, Orson Wells narrated The War of the Worlds, and had captivated my entire family with that story. They had even announced prior to the story being aired that all events in that story were fictitious, because apparently Orson Wells did such an excellent job narrating that story that in the past panic had ensued where people had actually believed the events to be happening.

It made such an impact on me, that I've never forgotten that story, nor the events surrounding my listening to it. When the movie was released, I felt such an awful disappointment in it, because it just did not come across with the same level of drama and emotion Orson Wells had created in his telling of the story.

I didn't know "The Island of Dr. Moreau" was his, but it definitely seems like his kind of thing. Did you see the movie? Val Kilmer was a total freak. @[email protected] I never read that book. I haven't read "The Time Machine," either, but I did read "War of the Worlds." Love all the movies. I should read more of the books.

I started War of the Worlds but just couldn't really get into it. It seemed overly descriptive of everything. I recieved The Invisible Man and the Time Machine together as a sorts joint book, but I haven't read them. Perhaps I should.

I want to read War of the Worlds
i've only read the time machine, and then saw the movie replicate; it was alright. the hollywood version was more appealing, as it was meant to be. the movie was what really sucked about the time machine.
