I read about half the book today, and I'll finish it when I get the chance. To view some of it's interactive features, click on the spoiler. I didn't want to junk up yet another thread with YouTube videos, but you may find it fascinating. Sure, it's a gimmick, but a fun one. I wouldn't like all books to be like this, but it's nice once in a while.

Jules Verne wasn't the author of
The War of the Worlds. H.G. Wells is the author. H.G. Wells wrote
The War of the Worlds in 1898. You've got the wrong author in your post.
