I never read the book but finally got my hands on it yesterday and am half way through it. Short book, short chapters but impresses so far are great. hes a very discriptive writer but some of the older language gets in the way but im really enjoying it.

I'm on chapter 3 of Book2 and he does seem to do into long descriptions now which sort of throw me off so I have to go back and re-read but it doesn't matter because it's still very interesting.

I can't get enough of it, in fact. What I REALLY want to add to my collection is the FIRST print of the book... or at least an old version.

My copy dates from 1967, but that's the English one. I've got Dutch copies from 1974, 1978 and 1984. And in the large book The Complete WOTW (which includes the 1938 Radio Broadcast Script) is another copy of the English version of the book. So I have it 5 times!

Well, I'm not planning to buy via the net... I rather look on markets for the older versions.

Not just that but the story reads a little differently. Wells made changes to the novel.

That's because he novellised the intended episodic adventures as Jeff said it in the documentary in the CE.

So that's why some changes were made, to make the text look like a novel.
