“ The Time Machine by H.G. is an excellent book that goes into the creative mind of H.G wells. The author makes you feel that your right in the middle of the story. If your love sci fi books then the time machine is a most read.”

“i like the idea that none of the character except Weena have names, that the narrrator is unknown, just there. It gives a different feeling to the book. The writing is solid and the characters fun great original si-fi.”

“This was a fascinating read just as fiction. There is also great political allegory in the world of the Morlocks and Eloi. It is a pretty quick, enjoyable read.”

“This classic tale of time travel makes it easy to suspend your disbelief. Well's concise writing thoroughly engages in this tale of a man who invents a machine that can travel through time, and finds a future much different than he anticipated.”

“It's been a long time since I read this. More of an adventure novel than a time travel story, because there are no paradoxes.”

“Not as interesting as I thought it would be. Time travel scenarios always leave me asking the "why" question. For example, why not go forward and get all the winning lottery numbers for the next week and why not go back to definitively answer all the unanswered questions of ancient history? Instead, Wells decides to take his character forward to the year 802,703 (random) and beyond. His vision of the future is dark and the presentation of the story as a long, flowing monologue leaves much to be desired. And don't get me started on the ending. This may be heresy to some but I found the novella unimaginative!”
