Disclaimer: I was given a free copy by the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review. I am not a huge H.G. Wells fan. I’m just not. I know I should read more of his work, but well. Anyway, I must admit that if Mondello does anymore live cast version of ...
This book took foreeeeeeeeever to get through. I know its supposedly a classic, but it definitely isn't a book that left an overwhelmingly favorable impression in my mind. Urgh. He's definitely done better work.

Fascinating less for the story (which is entertainingly horrifying and must have been quite scandalous in its day) and more for the pseudoscientific tone, including the disclaimers and apologies of the narrator. This might be usefully compared to Atwood's Oryx and Crake as a cautionary tale about ho...
I have long had an urge to read this book, as H.G. Wells is known as the king of science-fiction, and I've never read anything by him before. And what a pleasant surprise.
