Christopher was going to be reading this book so I thought I would read it as well. The first few pages took some getting used to, thanks to the old-fashioned writing style and vocabulary, but then the story drew me in. I love the unexpectedness of the path that Wells takes humans along in his version of the future.

It is easy to see why this is a classic. Wells makes every word count.
