Just picked this up again, Claire, almost a quarter through now, and it's really growing on me. It may have been I was in the wrong mood before Finding Hugh and Daniel particularly witty
I listened to it as a child, it was all very exciting. I'm not sure now if it was the original Orson Wells version or a later one, I suspect it was the former. I remember my father telling me of the panic it had caused in America when it first aired.
Thanks for that great review, Willoyd. Reminded me that it's a book I've always meant to read but had forgotten about. Been mulling over what to read next, and this'll be just the ticket!
