Beautifully read THANKYOU.,.. Think I have read this book over 50 times and I NEVER tire of it...the 2 film's were ( just mho) very good...but both don't come close to this wonderfully compelling written masterpiece!!
This book is a masterpiece and is still the best of all tales of alien invasion - the stark descriptions of how ordinary people react to the extraordinary are brilliantly and terrifyingly imagined. I first read it way back in the late 70s (when I was living in the part of Surrey where the first part of the book is set) and I'd forgotten so many of the details until listening to this all in one sitting. Spielberg's ghastly version is a pale and dreadful travesty in comparison to the book, as are all the other attempts to rehash what HG Wells did so superbly. Sadly, we're unlikely to ever see an absolutely faithful-tothe-last-detail cinematic or serialised version that respects the setting and the period 100 percent... but wouldn't that be amazing!! (maybe a project for Peter Jackson?)
Look up Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds. It’s a 1978 rock opera but with narration by Richard Burton interspersed. I actually like the music too, but Burton is top notch of course. You can find it on YT.
@@manamsetty2664 My grandfather remembered the events exactly as related by the author. However, on that fateful morning he walked to the train station in Woking as normal and boarded his usual early morning commuter train into London Waterloo for his job in Half Moon Street in Mayfair. The rest is history.
@@johnlloyd3377 so his experiences were similar to that of the authors brother who was in London i guess No wonder Britain won both world wars they had so much experience with alien tech While here in India it was virtually non existent just the British drinking their chai 🤧😂
What a bizarre comment. Are you listening to something entirely different? The reader is perfect in all ways and tells this story with a beautiful, clear, English accent.
Stephen Spielbergo is working on a sequel also starring Tom Cruise. It's called, "The War of the Squirrels." This time renegade bands of roving pissed off Squirrels, enraged over their brothers and sisters being run over in the streets, roam the cities and the country side. Battling mankind seeking revenge !!! Demanding Squirrel crossings in the streets. Complete with crossing guard Squirrels and Traffic lights synchronized to the comings and goings of Squirrels !!! Tom Cruise is said to be leading an undercover group of spies, dressed like Squirrels. Who seek to infiltrate the Squirrel rebel headquarters !!! I've heard Tom is even stuffing acorns and other nuts in his cheeks in order to create a giant human jowls look. Much like the Squirrels. It should be exciting. Supposedly in order to add more action Spielberg will have a weresquirrel and a count Dracusquirrel !!! It's important to portray the renegade Squirrels as evil and Tom Cruise with stretched jowls full of acorns in a giant Squirrel suit as the good 👦 guys !!
Are you listening to an entirely different version? Evidently you are, sir. I have no idea what you are accustomed to but it is clearly narration of a somewhat lesser calibre. This is beautifully read in a beautiful. clear, English accent which is probably very close to that used at the time and location this novel is set.

The EPICNESS of this reading has left me speechless. Many thanks for taking the time to produce this
I completely agree with you! Having last read this fantastic novel decades ago, I was spellbound by this brilliant reading from start to finish.
Beautifully read THANKYOU.,..

Best book ever ❤
❤ thank you for another great read.👏
Well done.
I'd like to hear this read by either Richard Burton, or Oliver Postgate. 😊

Great reading ruined by too many commercials.
CZcams premium then. Same as the rest of us concerned about ads.
Creators need to make a living the same as the rest of us.
Who listens to an audiobook on CZcams without paying for ad-free premium in 2024? Poor show old chap, poor show.

Well done 😂
The Martians must be very tough to survive such a hard landing.
What?
Yes, no parachute or reverse thrusters for a soft landing. I lived on Strand Rd. which runs along side Horsell Common.
@@johnlloyd3377 So you experienced this situation with the martians or did your parents or grandparents experience this horrible situation
