Debbie (debbiegregory) | 585 comments Looking forward to this, I read The Island of Dr. Moreau last year and thought that was an incredible book for its time.

Pamela (bibliohound) | 359 comments Looking forward to this too. Have just realised that my copy contains The Invisible Man as well as The Time Machine so will be reading both this month.

Trine (majjalol) | 203 comments Cute little book! And so much shorter than I imagined it to be!

Half way through now; Wells has such a vivid imagination


message 8: by Trine (new)

Trine (majjalol) | 203 comments Indeed!

Patricia | 199 comments Read this in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed. I will drift off to sleep dreaming of The Time Traveller's future. I hope I don't have nightmares!

Jason (jasondenness) | 1877 comments I read this a while ago, not going to re-read it though. I did enjoy it. One thing I love about H G Wells is how many of his ideas/inventions are around today, and once the government admits to having a time machine we are all gonna go "Damn! That H G Wells was a freaking genius"

Pink Think I might start this one today. I actually know nothing about it, other than what the title suggests!


message 12: by Pamela (new)

Pamela (bibliohound) | 359 comments Finished this yesterday, liked but not loved it. My edition has The Invisible Man in it, I'm reading that now and finding it more engaging.

I can't believe I I haven't read this and look forward to it, probably end of the week or beginning of next.

Finished it a day or two ago. Just need to pen a review now!


message 15: by Elana (new)

Elana | 3 comments It's easy to see why H.G. Wells is said to be the 'founding father of science fiction' by this extremely imaginative story. With such extraordinarily detailed descriptions of a grim future, it is almost a strange feeling to know that it is truly fiction...


message 16: by Nikki (new)

Nikki Mcgee | 209 comments I read this at school and as far as I can remember I enjoyed it. Will start this evening

Ah yes. Easter break. Welcome back Nikki


message 18: by Nikki (new)

Nikki Mcgee | 209 comments Lol, yes you only see me on here over the holidays. I was trying to read a book a week but am two behind already!

I am about a third of the way in, dying to carry on, but not much reading time in the last few days!
