| | 2. |  | The War of the Worlds (Oxford World's Classics) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $22.64
Customer Review:
 Sadly, I just couldn't get into The War of the Worlds. It dragged from word one. It was short and didn't take a long time to read, but it seemed like forever. I've been recently coming to appreciate some alien stories, but this one fell flat. The ending struck me as an easy way to end the novel and... more info

| | 4. |  | The War of the Worlds (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $3.00
Customer Review:
 I recently reread Wells's THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU and was struck by how dated and stilted it was. I had the opposite reaction rereading THE WAR OF THE WORLDS.

| | 10. |  | Helliconia Summer (Helliconia Trilogy) from I Books Price: $30.75
Customer Review:
 This is by far the best book in the series - not quite great, but an interesting book to read. The characters are vibrant, their motivations understandable, the plot at least somewhat plausible. As with all the Helliconia books, there are many loose ends and the author never quite made me care about... more info
