Reviews

[Paul Foley]

An insightful, brief analysis and appreciation of H.G. Wells' writings through 1914. The first section covers the "scientific romances", the second looks at the novels, and the final section covers the nonfiction books. Written in 1915. This is not a biography of Wells.

[T.L. Brown]

Definitely a good read if you truly appreciate the author.

[Diana Long]

Thinking that this would be a biography of H. G. Wells, I soon discovered it was not. What it is in fact, is an analytic view into the mind of H. G. Wells, why he wrote the works and the meaning underneath the writings, And here I thought it would be just his imagination, But in all seriousness the author of this work breaks down the underlying thoughts to the work of the author H. G. Wells. It is an interesting read and would be of great benefit for those who are interested in the stories of H. G. Wells and studying the meanings behind them.
