H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds: A Review by Sam H., edited by Ms. Hernandez!

H.G Wells’s The War of The Worlds starts with the writer telling the reader how clueless we were to the martians watching us from their planet. They watched us grow while their planet died and they eventually come to Earth to exterminate us for their survival, although they say we have done the same thing to the Dodo, the Native Americans, and etc. (but not for our own survival). Then the writer kicks into a first person view of the night him and his friend Ogilvy, an astronomer, saw the shots from Mars and flaming spouts "like flaming gas rushing out of the barrel of a gun," while in Ogilvy’s attic looking through a telescope. This happened ten times. A few days after, one shot struck near them, and Ogilvy found the first cylinder. This book is a good one because the writer is writing as if it really happened and he was a witness to these events, and is not the main character, because there is no main character, like anything would happen. He also switches to his brother’s view for two chapters, and writes very, well, scientifically, and I would suggest you read it.
