I would like to comment that War of the WOrlds is one of the best books ever. It has been made into a radio show, a musical, Two movies (with the second one out soon I hope ) and no matter who you are, you probably at least know the plot-because so many films/books have used the same ideas to their own story.<br>Jeff Waynes musical version is excellent, and if a movie had been made around that, with the music and everything, I think it would have been a box office hit. Unfortunatly, hollywood decided to change almost everything, until the only similarities were that they were matians and that they were invading earth. It was now set in America, after WWII and they wern't tripods any more-they floated. And Thunder-Child was nowhere to be seen, nor the red weed!<br>This book is a must read, and Jeff Waynes version is a must hear!<br>Bye
