War of the Worlds
I would recommend this book to anyone. It's a classic, and for good reason. H.G. Wells did such a great job telling this epic story that although it seems far-fetched in a simple plot synopsis, anyone who reads the book through and thoroughly will understand that it seems almost believable. Wells also portrays expression well, and through this "feature" the whole story is made to seem more intense. In a movie based on this book, I would choose the song Chariots of Fire for the scene when the first few aliens are falling out of the sky. I think that would be a good choice because, to me it simply suits what I pictured that scene to be as I read it. I'm sure, though, that that could vary greatly from person to person.

I like your reasons, although there might be some more reasons that could be more original.
You seem to be thinking that everybody has either read the book or watched the movie.
I watched the movie, but wasn't very interested in the book.
For that reason, I was able to understand the part of "the first few aliens from the sky" part, but if somebody who knows nothing about the book, it might be hard to understand as they must guess.
Just one more suggestion: could you put your reasons into different paragraphs or at least press enter before the second reason? That would help a lot, as I thought you might have done one question.
otherwise...good job :)
Thanks Brian
