The ultimate science fiction classic: for more than one hundred years, this compelling tale of the Martian invasion of Earth has enthralled readers with a combination of imagination and incisive commentary on the imbalance of power that continues to be relevant today. The style is revolutionary for its era, employing a sophisticated first and third person account of the events which is both personal and focused on the holistic downfall of Earth's society. The Martians, as evil, mechanical and unknown a threat they are, remain daunting in today's society, where, despite technology's mammoth advances, humanity's hegemony over Earth is yet to be called into question. In Well's introduction to the book, where the character discusses with the later deceased Ogilvy about astronomy and the possibility of alien life defeating the 'savage' (to them) nineteenth-century Britain, is he insinuating that this is the truth and fate of humanity?

Carmen reseñó La guerra de los mundos de H. G. Wells

Review of 'La guerra de los mundos' on 'Goodreads'

3 estrellas

I'm sure this book had a unique approach when it was published, but to be honest, the scientific foundations presented to argue the existence of the martians were not convincing. Also, the further I read the more I realized that the book was more about humanity and its problems as a society than about an alien invasion.

Also, the ending did not convince me. That such bloodthirsty and cruel martians died because of some bacteria did not seem right to me. After reading such a short but intense novel, it just seemed a poor and inadequate ending for these creatures.
