What a great story! I loved hearing about 'The Time Traveller' and his adventures 800,000 years into the future.

I finished it in a couple of sittings(the story was free for download on the Kobo)

Thought for those who have read it (view spoiler)[I'm not sure I would have been so hungry for meat after finding out, what he did, about the Morlocks! (hide spoiler)]

One of the best summaries of the major themes in the book can be found here.

Weena. (view spoiler)[I have always wondered whether the Time Traveler's return trip proceeded to the moment before Weena's death, so that he could save her from the Morlocks. I would like to think so, although that would create a time paradox that Wells was doubtlessly unable to confront. (hide spoiler)]

This was a very quick read. I finished it in a couple days. A little slow at first, but I enjoyed the end. Pretty thought provoking!

There are also a few good audio versions of this book. I have one narrated by Scott Brick, who is one of my favorite narrators. If you haven't experienced this book being read to you I suggest you give it a try. I thought it was really well done.

I really liked it. Love the part when he pulled flowers from his pockets.

I love this book it got me into classic sci-fi H.G. Wells is awesome. I love stories that look at different societies and the way he tried to think about how this society came about was great. If your a Sociology nerd like me you will love The Time Machine.

I agree. Makes me think if there could ever be a sequel about it, might be interesting :)

It's a classic for good reason. I enjoyed it a lot. My only regret was that it was over so quickly!
