I'm not going to write a review on this classic - put simply i loved the book and would have loved it even more if the map had been located at the beginning of the book as I had real trouble sometimes keeping up with going "north, south, southwest, etc" and only discoverd the map upon finishing the book.I'd like to say a few words though about the physical conditions off this edition (penguin classics, paperpack): They are as bad as they can get. After getting half through the book, the first pages started to break apart. Upon finishing the only thing that was left was a stack of loose pages. I would think that penguin for a "CLASSIC EDITION" would apply a more serious production standard. One that would AT LEAST allow for the book being read one time before falling apart.I'm very disappointed by the quality of this edition and would recommend everyone to restrain from buying it and look for another one.

tijdloze klassieker
Vele kennen het verhaal de muzikale versie van Jeff Wayne of misschien van de TV serie. maar er gaat niks boven het originele verhaal

I recommend this
This retold version is easier to read and suitable for students in general. Athought you see some names in Britain, the map in the book will help you appreciate the unnatural situation brought by the great machines from Mars.
