I wasn't expecting much from a time when fantasy and science fiction were not only in their infancy, but not acknowledged as being something for adults. However, having never read HG Wells in my entire life, I found him immensely entertainined. While the beginning of "The Time Machine" was a bit slow, I found the Darwinism (and the barely-hidden class commentary) of the future fascinating. However, I must say that I enjoyed "The Invisible Man" more than the time machine. Griffin is someone you c...more

Though the book being reviewed is a novel containing two of HG Wells' stories, this review will be focusing on the first one. While The Time Machine wasn't the best sci-fi classic I've read, it was still pretty enjoyable, all things considered. Besides, I may have been a bit biased to start with since I had seen the 1960 movie version of it years before, so I really didn't know what to expect beyond that. Still, I like how Wells decided to focus on the far-off future instead of the next few cent...more

The Time Machine: As a kid I loved the 1960 film version, and I also recall seeing the 1978 made-for-tv version, and liking it (I was 11, cut me some slack). I enjoyed reading this, but must confess that a lot of the imagery from the films invaded my inner vision. But I enjoyed the read, and especially the fallibility of the narrator, by which I mean that he made many mistakes in the course of the story, all of which he relates matter-of-factly.

The scientist who is The Time Traveller in this brief novel constructs a time machine enabling him to travel into the remote future where, it is surmised, humans have developed into simpler beings, the Eloi, who live above ground, and the Morlocks, who live below ground.

The assumption which The Time Traveller makes on discovering these two races is that the division arose from a split of the classes; the upper class or Eloi living above ground and the working classes reduced to living subterran...more

My biggest problem with these novels was that I wasn't able to get into the story for very long, and forget that I was reading. But, this could be due to the way I approached reading them. Both The Time Machine and The Invisible Man are very short novels. Personally, I enjoyed the Invisible Man a lot more, because I felt the characters had more substance and the story was more suspenseful.

The Time Machine is the beginning of science fiction, and I love science fiction! But, I could not enjoy this book, as much as I wanted to. It was more preachy than mind-bending, bombarding the reader with Darwinism and socialism, rather than exploring the concept of time travel. There wasn't enough curiosity on Wells' part to make this book satisfying.

I originally bought this book because I thought the stories in it would be a nice, short break from the large volumes I've been shoving into my eyes recently. While I was intrigued to read the fantastical worlds of Wells, which I had not attempted for nearly a decade, I didn't expect such beauty and brilliance as they had. I was pleasantly shocked at how each story kept me flipping pages as if racing time, and the ideas, as you've probably heard about Wells, will keep you enthralled well beyond...more

Found the Time Machine pretty annoying, Wells is unintentionally showing himself to be a bit of a bourgeois pig by siding with the Eloi and somehow implying that they're "more human" and the Morlocks are "less human" though neither is clearly human any more. I found the author's footnotes obnoxious and pedantic and the editor's were just as bad. I'm taking a break from this and I'll come back to read The Invisible Man when I have more patience.

Who knew that science fiction was being written in the 1800s? Not me. I read war or the worlds in high school after learning about the radio broadcast that supposedly terrified people. Now realizing how far ahead of his time H.G. Wells was I can see why people were somewhat disturbed. In the time machine he does a great job at showing how horribly mankind could progress, and actually uses okay logic to explain it. And the invisible man is just a terrifying account of what would happen if a socio...more

I decided to tackle these classics for two reason. 1) I love Science Fiction, and 2)They are both referenced so often, I thought it might help to know the actual story.

They're both wonderfully crafted tales. The messages found in The Time Machine are still applicable today. I feel that The Invisible Man was much more suspenseful, though.

Let's talk about the Time Machine first, then! I absolutely loved, enjoyed, had fun, as well as did a lot of thinking while reading this short story. Wells had such a wonderful mind for putting it (the world, his world, and his words) in a nutshell. The scientific content of the Time Machine, the precision and details given are much appreciated, they make the reader feel like he's important and not a dumb one, it also gives some depths to the science-fiction. It's not just an absurd crazy man's dream or fantasy, it is a crazy man's adventure. The use of an external narrator who was a spectator of the scientist's experiments is interesting, it allows the readers to put some space between them and the engaging time traveler. Wells gives depths to the story also by giving the scientist space to truly develop as a human being. We feel his wishes, doubts, his distress when he's faced with the true nature of the Morlocks and the purpose of the Eloi on this Earth far, far, far away in time from the Earth we know.
It actually is the first time that I read a time-traveling novella that takes place so far ahead in the future, with such a different Earth and inhabitants. It makes the story so much more original and touching, actually. Indeed, as the traveler cannot fully communicate with the gentle Eloi, he can only guess and build theories about what happened to the world between his time and theirs.
To sum up, it was a very exciting read, and Wells' old English made it even more enjoyable.

As for the Invisible Man, I must say that it took me a long time to finish the book, mostly because of the disagreeable nature of the main character. Wells alternates long dialogues or monologues and outer-people's tales about "what's going on in their little town", as we could say. It creates a tabloid-y atmosphere, made out of rumors, ego-created stories just to say something more interesting than the neighbor. It allows us to have a fuller understanding of the situation, as seen - or more like unseen, as it is the point of the story - by the normal people around the scientist. The story goes a bit to slow for me, at least in the beginning, and mostly during the middle. When the Invisible Man finds shelter at an old friend's house (Kemp's), the story takes another turn. He then begins to show his real persona and explains his plan, thus he becomes a wanted man. The tension between the two men makes for a good face-to-face, human-to-monster scene.
Just like in the previous short story, Wells uses science-fiction to analyze the human condition, how it can be altered by science or how science, difference or sickness can be used as a excuse for madness.

Thus, despite some overlong passages, the Invisible Man makes for a good story as long as you find the will to overlook those same passages, because they are necessary to the story.
Wells was a smart, talented man, and this can be seen in his work.(less)

He realizes the many things that can be accomplished by a man who cannot be seen. H. G. Wells's The Invisible Man confused me with the old timey slang and scientific terms.
The theme of the book The Invisible Man is that greed is bad. The Invisible Man shows greed and hatred towards people and is very rude. In one case of this, the Invisible Man demands many things from Mrs. Hall. In another incident, the Invisible Man demands that a homeless man help him with carrying out his plans. He expects many favors from many people, but the people are tired of being forced to perform tasks for an unseen person. The tone of the book ties in well with the theme because the tone also makes the reader feel sorry for the Invisible Man. That is, until the reader hears of the Invisible Man's intentions.
The main character of this story, who is called by many names, is the Invisible Man. He is also known as the Stranger and Griffin. The Invisible Man has an aggressive personality and gets irritated very easily at people who don't cooperate with him. At the beginning of the book, the Invisible Man was irritated with Mrs. Hall because she continually interrupted his work. Though the Invisible Man frequently asked Mrs. Hall to leave him alone and at least knock before coming in his room. But Mrs. Hall refuses, and this angers the Invisible Man. All of the other characters in the story seem to be against the Invisible Man and his evil plot.
The setting of the book is in the late 1800s, which explains the jargon used throughout the story. It takes place in England, and the Invisible Man changes location many times throughout the story. But the story stays in England the entire time.
The story The Invisible Man captivates the reader with many vivid words that tease the imagination with the impossible. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading books with old English jargon.(less)

What is time? Is it the recording of the present and past and the peeking into the future? Is it the aging process of all things? Is it relative to space? Is it changeable or in a constant mold? Can you move about it and through it? These questions come to mind while either A) reading The Time Machine by H.G. Wells or B) having a deep, frustrating moment, pondering things beyond my own understanding. That is part of the reason The Time Machine was such a great read, different from most books I have found.

There were two themes uncovered in this book, in my opinion. The first was to believe in yourself, even when people may not think you can achieve your goals. This first occurred to me when the time traveller was meeting in his study with friends, discussing his miniature model. They kindly joked and remarked on 'the absurdity' of his intentions, but he went along with his plan anyways. The second was curiosity. The saying "curiosity killed the cat" popped into my mind several times as I read. Chapter after chapter was filled with close calls and risks based on the fact that the time traveller was eager to see what lay around the corner. A scientist is supposed to be a skeptical and have a curious mind; I'm positive you could associate the main character as a scientist (based on his character traits).

As I read, I realized the main character is never named; he is just referred to as "the time traveler". Multiple maids, servants, friends, and acquaintances are named, but he is not. I found that strange, but it added mystery to the story, and it mad The Time Machine more interesting to me personally. I think the time traveler can be described as naive, curious, adventuresome, athletic, and humorous. The traits naive and curious can be found any time he sits on the time machine and maneuvers its levers. Adventuresome doesn't describe the time traveler; adventuresome IS the time traveler. The moment he steps off the seat of the machine and into the year 802,701 A.D. he is an adventurer, like it or not. I also call him athletic, because at one point in the story, he runs, on his account, about 2 miles in no more than 10 minutes to escape the coming of darkness. His character is also humorous, because he always is turning his misfortune into a joke about himself, especially when he comes home a wreck and his friends want to know why--he tells them they must wait for him to eat and have a cigar. I probably admire this last trait the most about the time traveller.

The story takes place in England in the mid-1800s. Some things that also went along with the setting was the descriptions of houses as cottage-like and clothing as 'evening' and 'day dress'.
Another thing affected by either the setting of the story or the time the story was written was the dialect. This book wasn't written in a very modern form (by that I mean with modern slang or speech). It made me feel I was in a different world, and that was BEFORE he traveled into the far future. Those descriptions were of scenarios that I had trouble imagining myself in. A place with all rustic ruins and no technology? If that's what the future holds, I don't want to travel very far into it.

In The Time Machine, the time traveler "travels" through time. That's pretty predictable because of the tittle, but what is unpredictable is the order of events as they take place. The story begins in the home of the traveller; his friends/colleagues are over and they are all thoughtfully discussing the concept of time. He tells them that with time, the fourth dimension, people should be able to move around it like they do the other three. His friends only ponder it with him long enough to cross if off their list of possibilities. The next week, he invites them back for dinner, only when they arrive, the time traveler cannot be found. A few moments pass before the time traveler finally stumbles in his front door, looking like he spent a week on Survivor (the game show). His guests are in suspense as he puts off the explanation for his condition until after dinner.

When they are all settled in his lounge, the time traveler tells the small group of men gathered of the creation of a time machine, hand built and home tested. He tells them of his first trip into the future, the amazing sights he saw, and the two very different species that solely inhabit the future earth. He also projects the thought that people can evolve or change and loose the very thing that separates human beings from plain animals. His story may come to an end, and his guests may go home, but is his adventure really over?

The author, H.G. Wells, has a distinct writing style to me; I haven't seen many books like it, but that's because The Time Machine was first published in 1895. The language used is older English than most people are used to hearing, but it essentially will cause the reader to slow down and be more thorough in how they read. I reread parts many times if I didn't feel like I understood the descriptions or dialect. What I could understand and what I enjoyed, was the writer's beautiful way of putting things that were pretty plain. Once, where the author could have said "As I went faster, night and day went by one after the other" he says "As I put on pace, night followed day like the flapping of a black wing". It makes me forget I'm reading a novel and not a poem; his writing as a piece of art.

The Time Machine was not only thought provoking, mysterious, or artistic, it was also deep. The way he compares the futures inhabitants to animals really made me think about the human race and what makes people unique. That in itself can blow people's minds, and H.G. Wells had to throw in a concept as deep as time travel right in on top of it all. W-O-W. One reflection I had was that if time and the surrounding earth could change that much, would people really change that greatly? Would our minds evolve first, or our physical bodies? Have we evolved very much over the past thousands of years?

I could go on forever with questions, as I'm sure any person could after reading The Time Machine. This book is for the scientific thinker or the adventurer; I don't recommend its reading if you don't want to think, ponder, or become curious, just like the time traveler. (less)

'The Time Machine' was really great to read. It was the only work of HG Wells I knew of apart from, obviously, 'The War of the Worlds'. I didn't know Wells had actually coined the word time machine to begin with (thank you, mr Wells!) and I thought it would be a much longer story, but this was very nice and bite sized, I think :)
