A Victorian-era scientist calls together a group of men and tells them of his recent adventure, a trip through time...I had intended to participate in a reading of this with the Distinguished Society of Pantless Readers but once I had a taste, I wolfed the whole tale down in one sitting.The Time Mac...
First of all, I love the idea of a quartz-powered time machine. I'd never read a complete work by Wells before this, and I was pleasantly surprised. It has all of the hallmarks of a work from the Victorian era, but it still has the feeling of fresh invention despite all of the adaptions of the story...
This book was fine I guess. I didn't really like it though I can see why people do. To me though it really read like an anthropological study and even the exciting things felt boring. I swear one of these days I'll find a classic I like.
I just finished this book and it was amazing!! Wells is so imaginative in his writing and the story line was intriguing the whole way through. I really enjoyed the use of the big dinner party to help the reader know when the book was taking place in the present. Also the fact that the only charac...
Science fiction would not be the same without H. G. Wells (1866-1946). His ideas became an integral part of SF culture: time travel (“The Time Machine”, 1895), human/animal hybrids (“The Island of Doctor Moreau”, 1896), invisibility (“The Invisible Man”, 1897), alien invasion (“The War of the Worlds...

But through a natural infirmity of the flesh, which I will explain to you in a moment, we incline to overlook this fact. There are really four dimensions, three which we call the three plane...
The Time Machine (1960) was one of my favorite movies as a child. I guess I was a weird little girl because I absolutely lived for the days when I could find it on the tv on weekends. For some reason, I never did get around to reading the source material until now. And a big Thank You to SYNC for of...
I needed a break from my freebie werewolf romances, so I decided to browse through my Kindle to find something different to read. I needed something decently written, yet short - I had to squeeze in some reading time while the baby was taking her afternoon nap.The Time Machine fit my needs perfectly...
I listened to this as an audiobook read by Sir Derek Jacobi and I have to say his voice was perfect for this book. Wells is the father of science fiction and it shows. The Time Machine was written in 1895 and, while the story and the 'technology' does feel a bit old, you would NEVER guess it's al...
it was a good read, good message, I beleive that the topic could be taken a little more deeper but overall it got me kinda entertained, understood the term of the Morlocks used by pelople.
