![]() ![]() Tripods lord over humanity, forcing everyone over the age of 15 to have a procedure done called “capping” wherein a metal mess crown is applied to a persons head. ![]() In their world (in around 2089), the earth has been over-run and controlled by a race of strange three-legged machines called “Tripods”. The first book is a tale of three teenagers named Will, Henry, and Jean-Paul as they are questing towards the fabled “White Mountains” in Europe in order to live as free men. Considering most kid’s books nowadays don’t really do this, I feel reading classics like this is important. For example, the main characters don’t always do everything that is morally right due to their quest for survival, and usually the book talks about it in a way that shows they know what they have done is wrong. They are good books for older kids or young teens because they have some pretty solid adventure content, as well as some lessons kids can learn. ![]() ![]() There are four books in the series, and they are fairly quick reads due to being “young readers” books before that was even thing (as these came out in the last 60s). After getting back into Watching The Tripods television show from the BBC in 1984, I have decided to get back into trying to finish up the book series that is based on. ![]()
