Awix (3310 KP) rated When the Tripods Came (The Tripods #4) in Books

When the Tripods Came (The Tripods #4)
When the Tripods Came (The Tripods #4)
John Christopher | 1988 | Dystopia, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Young Adult (YA)

7.0 (1 Ratings)
Book Rating
Fourth books in trilogies are inherently inelegant and awkward beasts; Christopher's final Tripods novel is unsurprisingly no exception. 1980s Earth is visited by alien invaders, who (initially at least) are easily repelled. But it turns out that your mum was right when she said that too much TV was bad for your health...

A bit dated, but that's the least of the book's issues. A prequel to the main series was really not required, and the main catalyst for writing it seems to have been the Tripods TV show which was broadcast three or four years earlier. (The TV show the Masters use to take over the world bears a suspicious resemblance to the TV adaptation of the first two books.) It's not really meta, more sort of peeved: peeved at critics of the show's shortcomings, but also peeved at the makers of the show for not doing a better job. As well as being dated, the relationship subplots of the book feel a bit proforma, but the depiction of the world slowly sliding out of human control and the end of modern civilisation is vividly presented in the usual compelling fashion. Whether it should all feel a bit more downbeat and bleak is probably a question of personal taste; Christopher's prose retains its good manners as well as its readability.

There is good and bad but, Dax and Michael do bring Ponch and Baker to life in this fun movie. Some good chase scenes and Sheppard plays his kind of wacky self and the addition as bell as his wife good idea

A show that I watched growing up dealing with the bar cheers and the staff and patrons of the place.

It brings back a lot of nostalgia thinking about this show as it had some amazing scenes as well as actors who became big stars.

BAYWATCH's attempt to swim from the campy pleasure of the TV show to the big screen's raunchy and profanity-fueled approach does little to stay afloat.

Original Score- 2 out of 5
