The War of the Worlds

Man, I really thought I would enjoy this story. But every single thing about it bored me; I could not find a single route into it that would make me interested. I recognize it's a product of its time and that it influenced a lot of sci-fi, but I guess my tastes in the sci-fi genre have moved past this story. I wouldn't dismiss anybody for enjoying this novella more than I did, but definitely did not work for me.
