[Chad · Rating 2 out of 5]

A Cliff Notes version of H.G. Wells's The War of the Worlds accompanied with poor illustrations by Ted McKeever. The text is plopped over the illustrations at times making them extremely difficult to read. Just go read the actual book or watch the movie. You'll be much happier.
