Commentary Supposing Books The White Mountains (The Tripods #1)

Long ago, the Tripods—huge, three-legged machines—descended upon Earth and took control. Now people unquestioningly accept the Tripods' power. They have no control over their thoughts or their lives.

But for a brief time in each person's life—in childhood—he is not a slave. For Will, his time of freedom is about to end—unless he can escape to the White Mountains, where the possibility of freedom still exists.

Assessment Epithetical Books The White Mountains (The Tripods #1)

Tripods are cool, imagine these fearsome engines stomping around your neighborhood. They are not very practical though are they? Three legs dont seem to be a very stable locomotive arrangement. The aliens came from light years away can they not spring for some aircrafts or something on wheels? At least double the number of legs for Gods sake!When I first heard of this series I thought it was some kind of unofficial sequel to Wells awesome classic The War of the Worlds. Well, now I know it is

This is the most affect-less YA novel I've ever read. The tone is so remarkably even-keeled; none of the potential disasters last long enough to be frightening; and then disaster is avoided every time. I didn't dislike it -- it's a pleasant enough read, and quick, and at first I found the even tone charming, until it became clear that it was going to remain precisely the same throughout the entire book. I don't understand its enduring popularity, especially in contrast to the much more emotive

This young adult dystopian science fiction novel (the first of a trilogy, followed by a prequel) is considered to be a classic, and it's easy to see why. The Tripods (machines? living beings? robots gone wrong? aliens from another world?) rule over the post-apocalyptic Earth, keeping humans in their (faux-medieval) place by means of "capping" them at puberty: that is, surgically implanting metal helmet-like contraptions on people to keep them docile and content. Young Will, the protagonist,

This is the first of my favourite set of books from when I was a child. The books and the TV serials are wonderful memories for me that I like to relive from time to time.The reason for the current re-read was that they were discussed on Twitter. Myself and Kiraniumbra convinced Jacob and Karode to read the books and watch the tv series. With strict advice to read the books first. It tweaked me into re-reading them myself. So off I went to pick the trilogy and the prequel from my parents' house.



These books are precious to me. But not the type of precious that requires a little hobbit to come along to my lair in my misty mountain hideout and steal them away, take them across some deserts and throw them into some smoking volcanic mountain. No these are precious for childhood reasons.I first discovered the pleasure of reading through the power of the Chronicles of Narnia. My mother had a small bookshelf on which was kept all her favourite childhood books and as I learnt to read those were

4 Silver StarsGolden SparksRTCAliens sci- fiction, don't you love it? who rule the Earth. Dystopian & post-apocalyptic. the 1st Dystopia I read, years ago. (it was 2006 I guess, & at that time I didn't know Dystopia is a genre.)such a great story. (tho my favourite in the series is the 2nd book, The City of Gold and Lead)full of surprises, rebellion & nice characters.2019: It's been a while I've re-read it (maybe 9 years, I have no idea.) probably soon I will re-read it. I missed it.
