Would The War of the Worlds work as a book-club pick? I like having something we can disagree about afterwards.
Aoife, same question here. A quick note on the pace would help me make up my mind.

The War of the Worlds is one I am weighing up. The pitches in here are useful. A couple of lines about the tone can tell me more than a score.
Grainne, i have added a boost too. Would be interesting to see how it sits beside the other choices.
For anyone considering The War of the Worlds: Could someone add a spoiler-free note about the opening? That is usually what helps me choose.
