WotW setting

the setting of War of the world(WotW) is england about 90 years ago. you can tell this by the tenth chapter when instead of using a car to leave the town they get a horse with cart and the warning of the martians was sent by a messanger boy instead of calling on a phone.this setting i think is a good setting for the book because if you've seen the movie, the fighting in the movie is with tanks and missles and machine guns. on the book, with the time period the fighting is a more challenge.
