The Tripods Boxed Set of 4 (The Tripods #1-4)
I‘m now not so terrified anymore but holy moly this was still an awesome read and made me think about humanity and what it means to be truly human.
Ive seen the TV Series as a Teenager and remembered it vividly as one of the most intriguing but also terrifying things ive ever seen. The Book now made it possible for me to read the end of the story and also the beginning how the Tripods started.Im now not so terrified anymore but holy moly this was still an awesome read and made me think about humanity and what it means to be truly human.
These were the other serese my teacher chooose and they were great, thye actually keept me interested unlike most books teachers picked for us to have to read during the school year.
Rowling stole the idea of the super-rich under pressure orphan kid from Dickens, the Werewolves, Dorfs and Elves and their magic tricks and other magical stuffs from Andersen and the brothers Grimm, the "Muggels" word from Kendall, the idea of the wizardry school and the annual tournaments from Le Guin and Horowitz, and even the Quidditch game and somehow the sorting hat idea from Christopher and his Tripads series [and only gods know what else from whom.]. I think there is a clear message in
it was a good book, but left you hanging at the end.i guess cause its in a series.
This book isn't very good, but not bad. I would say so-so...?
Even though these are teen/young adult books, they are just as gripping as when I first read them years ago. Both the Martians and their machines are portrayed perfectly and terrifyingly, and the suspense and thrill the books generate is just addictive.

This set was a fantastic discovery for me! The books were written in the late 1960's, and I read them in 1977 on the recommendation of my elementary school librarian. She told me that not many girls finished these books, which, of course, made it necessary for me to prove her wrong. I hadn't remembered them, but when "The White Mountains" was on a list of recommended books for boys, and I checked it out for Ryan, it was deja vu. I'm not sure if it is because these are really fun books, or if itsIve seen the TV Series as a Teenager and remembered it vividly as one of the most intriguing but also terrifying things ive ever seen.
