Pros: Exciting narrative, interesting and imaginative concept, leanness leaves you wanting more Cons: See review
What if we could travel through not only space but time? What if we could travel to the past or the future as easily as we cross a street or climb a hill? For years, writers and readers have been fascinated by this question and explored numerous ...
Pros: A short, thought-provoking, easy read Cons: None
There’s nothing that will convince me to read a book quite like the impending threat of a movie being released that is based on that book. The movie trailers I have seen at the theatre lately, advertising the imminent release of The Time...
Pros: Adventure, philosophy, vision and great writing. Cons: Conless
Having adored George Pal’s 1960 movie interpretation of “The Time Machine” since childhood I thought it was about time I read the book. I came to the book wishing for light entertainment, the kind of facile but delicious fantasy that the movie was. In ...
Pros: lucid social commentary in a memorable plot Cons: dated
Century marks encourage big think about the past and future. In 2000, the connected world held center stage, with CNN covering 24 hours of New Years around the globe amid much self-congratulation about the Internet and the new economy. (What would the...
Pros: A thought provoking potential future Cons: Too short
If it was not for the scientific improbability of time travel, Wells would have convinced me otherwise in his first real novel. His arguments are astounding, showing the amount of effort he always put into his work, and his amazing intellect. He throws...
Pros: Entertaining, Interesting theories and predictions from the late 1800s Cons: The context may be difficult for some lower level readers
I read this novel for a book report that I had to write for my high school Science Fiction course. The author H.G. Wells is certainly a dominant figure in the Sci Fi genre, and his books have a somewhat fantastic feel about them. This book is no...
Pros: Exciting, compelling concepts and adventures. Cons: Flowery writing style by modern standards.
"The Time Machine" is an adventure tale of the most classical sort, stimulating both the intellect and the emotions of the reader. H.G. Wells wrote it to be political commentary as much as science fiction, a warning against the inherent...
The Time Machine, An Invention, is a fascinating book about the general attitudes and behaviors of man through many years, as seen by one man in a machine he has built, that allows him to travel through time.
Pros: Imaginative story line. Cons: I do not like the ending.
This is my favorite H.G Wells novel.I like any stories that involve time travel having read science books on the subject.
The concept of time travel is a complex and sometimes confusing subject.It involves numerous paradoxes such as going back and...
Pros: wonderfully imaginative, deeply immersive, short and clear Cons: Holds a strong political message
H.G. Wells is the father of modern science fiction, and no book reinforces this fact more than The Time Machine. It explores a bold idea that authors have returned to incessantly since, but none have quite captured it the way Wells has.
Pros: Exciting story Cons: Bleak view of the future
One of my fav books. A masterpiece over 100 years old. At the turn of the century, year 1900 a lone inventor creates a machine to transport him to the far future. He is curious as to how far humanity has progressed.
Pros: Amazing plot. Created an exciting, new concept that has been imitated countless times. Cons: Somewhat difficult to read - modern SF story coupled with older writing style
I was in a movie theater and a preview for a movie called The Time Machine came on, and it looked really good. I personally hate seeing a movie before reading the book it was based on, so...
