I read the burial of the pods ahead of the conflict as the attempt to influence colonial culture and the slow escalation of influence on a region.

My only regret is that no movie ever shows the naval battle you refer to. I know I was totaly "pumped" when HMS Thunderchild took on the two TriPods to save the other ships...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-81685787444403117092010-11-10T01:36:34.570+00:002010-11-10T01:36:34.570+00:00Hey Wert - I love this book and this is a great re...Hey Wert - I love this book and this is a great review, but once again you used anti-climatic (no weather) instead of anti-climactic (disappointing ending), just thought I'd be a pedant and let you know.Jebushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985667608602099242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-53490349442455470462010-11-09T21:44:53.394+00:002010-11-09T21:44:53.394+00:00This is a classic book - I'm 53 and can honest...This is a classic book - I'm 53 and can honestly say that HG Wells set me up to enjoy sci-fi for the rest of my life, much as CS Lewis did for fantasy. I can't not comment....<br />Of course the Jeff Wayne musical version and the Rod Taylor movie were fine spin-offs (unlike the dire Spielberg mmovie).Davieboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774099178107611712noreply@blogger.com
