Can you imagine a world taken over by huge three legged steel robotic monsters called Tripods and a young boy leading the humans to victory over them? Well, this is what I think will happen in the next book of the Tripods Trilogy by John Christopher. I predict that Will becomes a commander and find the tripods have got a diabolical weapon. The Tripods might use it against them. This will hopefully bring Will, Henry and Beanpole and the other non capped people to realize they must join together and fight for their right to exit as free men. They will have too overcome fears and probably many other problems. I think Beanpole will invent things and be in charge of repairing tanks, guns, planes and ships. He will have a very important role in the army. As for Henry he will become a Lieutenant General and be under Wills leadership. The humans will fight for their freedom.





The ‘White Mountains’ novel by John Christopher begins slowly and was at first quite boring. It began with Will at home wishing he could play with his father’s watch and how a cousin takes the watch and makes Will angry. The book starts to improve and gets more interesting when Ozymandias meets Will and tells him about freedom from capping and where people live freely in the White Mountains. From this point in the book and until the novel finishes, it is quite good. It grabs your attention, especially when the Tripods are searching for Will and when the boys use the grenades to kill a Tripod. Overall, I did not really like the book but I think that many other people who have a better understanding of this type of book would enjoy it more than I did.
