[@filosofando89]

it's easy sticking with it, you make it easy. From my point of view the ennemy of humans are other cruel humans who treat us as sheep....Thanks for your good work!

[@monicaalejandragutierrezlo2330]

Wonderful, just wonderful. I managed to watch the three parts while I was working and as you said it went a bit difficult sometimes but, your explanations about it and your recaps were amazing. Thank you Luke. Lots and lots of love from Colombia!!!

I hope we get more of these from you I came from Spotify just to inform and request for an another episode of this.

[@marcviemon8723]

Hi Luke! I enjoyed these three episodes a lot. I'm gonna read the whole story. I'm even thinking of copying the story as you are telling It because I think It could be a good way of learning all this vocabulary. I also liked your interpretation of the story. There's always more than we think in every good story. Thank you for this serie. You are great at your job. Keep on recording!

[@francoiseponteville]

Thank you it was so interesting you help m’étonne learn not only English but also Science Fiction . Others it would be so incomprehensible for me

[@damasceno39]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@donatellaferraro8729]

Great reading, Luke, I appreciate this old fashioned, richly descriptive writing! I wonder whether I would be able to read the whole book without your explanations... I wouldn't mind a 4th part ! 😊

[@chimak8332]

I keep listen again and again until I have completed understanding

[@shooshooh5463]

Thanks for your effort, really you make the story very exciting, like your podcast...a new fan of you 😊

[@stephanecollet5621]

Luke, that time this story was very, very tough for the frenchman I am. But it was so interesting about (ancient or formal) vocabulary. During 4 days and 3 parts of history, I have been learning lots of new words... Obviously, I forgot the majority of it, alas. Learn and forget and relearn and forget again and so on, isn't it there the rule to learn a foreign language in the long term ?! In this "course" too, I improve my reading so much (I could follow your pace) even if I didn't understand every word. THANK YOU SO MUCH Luke.

[@margaritaangelova8248]

I enjoy all your videos immensely, Luke!

[@malgorzatakawczynska6266]

LUKE YOU ARE THE JOY TO LISTEN! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏GREETINGS FROM READING UK.

[@عمرالشيخحميد]

Yes luke , we're the best😁

[@uk.sinanyilmaz]

Luke I think you should keep going on more about stories. But it rather better choosing more contemporary books than you know this kind of books. But it was really teaching by the way. If you may be able to pick a contemporary book next time , we would be more grateful and it would be frankly better for us. We need to practice more common word in a daily life. Thats my opinion. I am so grateful to your effort. you are the best lovely tutor. Love uuuuuuuuuuuu

[@siobhan994]

[@khmu5832]

Hi,I have never heard a horse can murmur .horses can produce many sounda but they don't murmur .murmur is a word created by shakespeare ,he derived from the sound that hints make due to some activity this is called anmotopoea his famous sentence in one of his sonnets'the murmur of the murmuring sea'.one can notice that h g wells concentrates on the linguistic side rather than scientific fiction. There are a lot of similies,metaphors and many others .the good thing in it is the charming way of reading it

[@nayseability]

Please do a part 4

[@khmu5832]

It's anmotopoea, don't mock

Hi Luke! It was a good story in your perfect reading and interpretation of it. All three parts of the show has made me to dive in into the novel more profoundly. Once I had had the so called "complete set of novels" written by H.G. Wells in Russian translation (15 volumes, by the way, but not so wholly complete, actually - so "Russia In The Shadows" was skipped). Among them was, of course, the "War Of The Worlds", but whenever I tried to read it on my own, I could not go through more than overcome the first chapter of it, although few pictures from its body were good an calling. I wish to hope it was so called the loss in translation, probably. Anyway, all novels from the set seemed boring. But your reading here has awoken my senses of curiosity, and also for the sake of language learning, I have started the reading of the original version. And here what I have found out. Yes, the original descriptive language is good. In some places. The book is written in an old-fashioned style, the meaning of some words can be found from the last bottom lines of their nesting places in dictionary. While reading you really can feel the atmosphere of the epoch. In some tangential manner I have browsed and learned a bit about the geography of the place and got details about some real astronomers mentioned in the novel. I also adored the amount of knowledge, people and G.H. in particular, had about Mars as a planet. Such items as "the volume of their world is only one seventh of that one of ours", or "the gravitational factor there is only one third of the ours", or "the mean day-time temperature at its equator is colder than that one we have during the coldest winters in Siberia", - all that is real and proved if you look for data by NASA, for example: yes, the volume of Mars is really 16 times ten in tenth cubic kilometres versus 108 times ten in tenth of the ours; minus 65 Centigrade on the surface during the day corresponds to that one from the book; 1/3 g of its gravity could have given Newton, had he lived there, times cubed three a longer interval not only to develop but finally polish his famous theory, etc., etc. Only 92 per cent of carbon dioxide in its atmosphere a bit spoil the picture. Also, H.G. could not have avoided some stuck in the rut flies of fantasy, like when the Martians made exactly 10 shots of their cylinders, despite, as we see, they had tentacles instead of hands and probably not ten fingers as we do and which gave us the idea of our decimal counting system. So, why, on Mars, there were not randomly (or not randomly) 8 shots, or 12, or 17, or how ever, of them. Some of our terrainial languages have much more complicated systems of counting - like the one when you start counting all fingers, then go on with two wrists, then two elbows, two shoulders and if not a chest, which makes rather a curious base system, doesn't it. Then it made me smile to learn that all the shots had been launched exactly at midnights, GMT. Hope the mention of that doomy watch was the author's trick to make the readers feel more the scale of the disaster. But despite all that the details about tripods, heat-rays, cannon-tubes with viscous suffocating gas, the crusty and burned outer surface of the landed cylinders - all that for the year of 1897 were rather prophetic. Only the cylinders had "landed" in a bit of a violent manner. I think it is a miracle that the Martians and all their stuff had survived such heavy landing. And the story terminates with the epic Martians’ "local pandemic". As far as we all know now how on earth they had not brought their own pestilence our planet? Anyway, we all will be glad to listen to your reading of any other story.

[@relaxbonita2310]

Just in case, you are interested too about Rick Riordan 's Greece mythology series like Percy Jackson, that would be so exciting to me.

[@yurymaestrovitkalov160]
