It's not hard to work out why as he was a rattling good story teller. He had imaginative plots, lots of action and some good twists. Whether you get to know the characters in depth and can overcome some of the jarring historical references (servants and stuff) is another matter.
Some of his tales, and War of the Worlds is definitely one of them, do fare better with reinterpretation and I'm not talking Tom Cruise here. Still it's refreshing now and then to get back to the source.
