Yes, I really like the Jeff Wayne musical, although I've never heard it in its entireity.
When I was 4 I read the HG Wells novel (the first one I ever read). My dad worked in radio, so he made a cassette copy of the album, although he couldn't fit it all on, so it wasn't all there.
With the 2 re-releases, I keep meaning to go buy a copy. The show is coming here this year, so I should really see it.
I love Forever Autumn, it sums up so many of my relationships. Also love Richard Burton, better than Morgan Freeman, better even than Orson Welles (and that's saying something!)
One thing about reading the book when I was so young: I thought it was real. I thought the Earth really was invaded by aliens 70-odd years before, and we only survived by the skin of our teeth.
