Well, there's a new film on coming out based on this book, only it's based in modern days. Now then, I'll let you know it's history! It was written by H.G. Wells in the year 1898. Then in the early 1900's the story was read to the people of America causing mass panic as people actually believed that martians had landed and were trying to destroy the earth. Many years later in the 1970's there was a musical production made for radio by Jeff Wayne who took this 'ahead of it's time' story into the lime light.
There has also been a film made already based on War of the Worlds but it really wasn't all that good. So if you're into Sci-Fi/ Horror/ Fantasy books, I'd recomend it anyday!
H.G. Wells may sound familiar, and this is because many people know of the film The Time Machine which is also a book he wrote, I will most definatly buy it once I have finished Reading The War of the Worlds for the 3rd time!
