Hailed as the Godfather of Science Fiction this is more of a history lesson. I am so saturated with Sci Fi that I wasnt quite feeling it as if I were just picking up a book for the first time. This could have hooked me; FYI I started with…

I have known about this H. G. Wells novel for some time. I saw the 1960 movie adaptation sometime in the late 1960's but until now had never read the book nor even any of Wells' novels. Published in 1895 when Wells was 29, The Time…

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells starts with a scientist deciding to build a time machine that can transport him into the future and find a utopian society.. Instead of finding a nice and peaceful world, he finds a dystopian world that was…

In this classic story of time travel, a Victorian scientist travels to a future which, instead of progressing forward, is in sorry decline. Wells' classic remains an exciting and intriguing read.

OK I admit it. I had never read the time machine until this year. Why not? I have no idea. I absolutely loved it. It's a simple easy read. It's bleak, but very thought-provoking. I still enjoy the movies, but I do wish I had read…

I actually watched the 2002 movie adaption first, but I must say, it really didn’t do this book justice. This is an absolute classic. I loved H. G. Wells’ thought-provoking story of how mankind can one day become uncivilized animals.

Started this last week before a camping trip, but ended up not being able to do much reading on the trip. Finally finished it today. While I think the ending of the book is phenomenal, I thought the middle dragged a bit. Overall, super…

The Time Machine is one of my favorite classics, and H. G. Wells is my favorite classic author. This was the second of three novels I have read by Wells, and one of my favorites. One of the best things about his writing is that he is not…

This interesting Wells work is NOT about a utopian society. It's a symbolic message, a higher meaning - it shows the present, in fact, where those who live in the dark cannibalize those who live in the light (i.e. who think clear and in…

This is one of my favorite all time books. I got my first copy from a book fair at my elementary school when I was about nine but it was a little over my head at first. I think I finally was able to read the whole book at about the age of…

Written by Sci-Fi writer, H.G. Wells, more than 120 years ago - It's so easy to see how The Time Machine's wondrous story would have fascinated readers-of-the-fantastic back in the late-19th century. I mean, even today Wells' story…

Wells was an official PROPAGANDIST. He was a squat man with a squeaky voice, and the Gov. gave him a big house and several secretaries to dictate to. (Orwell too was a Gov. propagandist, but he soon made himself independent and wrote 1984…

Maybe it has something to do with the new technology, the Twitter thing and the ubiquity of communications and/or information, the drama that can be played out on your hand, or your hand-held device, the never-a-dull-moment-allowed culture…
