I have the CD also Doug, it really is tremedous and the naration by Richard Burton (what a fabulous speaking voice) is pretty true to the original book. Of course, I'm sure the Tom Cruise film is good, but how they have the cheek to call this, or the earlier version with Gene Barry "War of the Worlds" is beyond me, as neither bear any real relation to the book. For one thing, the original story is set in England not America.
